  • “Gathering fresh material, Ada and colleagues expand the scope of ¡Pío Peep! Traditional Spanish Nursery Rhymes (2003)…Suárez decorates the pages with smiling, round-faced, sweet-looking children and animals bouncing about exuberantly.”
    Kirkus Reviews
  • “This packed-to-the-gills volume [draws] from the rich traditions of Spanish-speaking cultures…native Spanish speakers wanting to share favorite rhymes with children will relish this book's breadth -- and young speakers of either language will appreciate the bouncing rhythms and nonsense fun.”
    Booklist
  • “This lovely compendium…is a perfect example of translation as an art form.”
    School Library Journal
  • “Those who plan bilingual storytimes will find extensive transitional material, and kids interested or skilled in the Spanish language will find plenty to pore over in this book. Spanish-speaking families, who can read the poems together and share childhood recollections inspired by the entries, will particularly benefit from this extensive collection of verse.”
    The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
  • “The translations are faithful to the originals, conveying the charm and tenderness of the Spanish...illustrations are delightful and feature children of color in many different cultural settings.”
