(4) PS Illustrated by Juana Martinez-Neal. Eighteen traditional nursery rhymes are rephrased with some Spanish vocabulary in this interlingual collection (e.g., "María had a little oveja. / Its lana was white as snow"). Elya's Spanish nouns and determiners are unfortunately forced into English grammatical structure, and adherence to meter varies across the book. Martinez-Neal's cherubic illustrations are warm and homey, refreshingly depicting children and families of all colors. Glos.
