PS
Adapted by Alice Schertle.
Illustrated by
Vivi Escriva.
The selectors' reputations precede them in this bilingual collection of over twenty-five well-known Spanish nursery rhymes. Schertle's liberal English adaptations (rather than straight translations) go too far afield from the original verses and won't help readers wishing to decode one language by using the other. The comforting watercolor illustrations are as inviting as the familiar rhymes.
