(2) PS Illustrated by Viví Escrivá. Also selected by F. Isabel Campoy. English versions by Rosalma Zubizarreta. This picture book collects sixteen traditional nursery rhymes. Spanish is the preeminent language, with each rhyme presented first in Spanish and then in a free retelling in English that captures the flavor of the original. This will be an invaluable resource for librarians and teachers, and with its soft, warm watercolor illustrations it makes an attractive gift book.

(4) 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.
