Singer-songwriter José-Luis Orozco has assembled a collection of finger rhymes and other action songs from Latin America. Including favorites such as "The Wheels on the Bus" as well as folk songs from a variety of Spanish-speaking countries, Diez Deditos is a treat for the eyes, ears, and fingers. Lyrics are presented in both English and Spanish, and easy-to-follow musical accompaniment and diagrams for the corresponding actions are also provided. As in the companion volume De Colores, bright collage illustrations by Elisa Kleven complete the appeal of this fun-filled book.

I got the book and the music album together and I absolutely love them. The book makes the music a lot more meaningful-- even if you know enough Spanish to understand the music, the book is still useful to show you finger-plays and dances to go along with it. However, I wouldn't have gotten much out of the book by itself. Unless you are really good at reading music, get the album too.
My husband and I bought the book and CD to accompany it. Fabulous! The book's illustrations are rich and vibrant, with lyrics, with music, and hand signs too! Both of our daughters (3yo and 1 yo) LOVE the music and follow along with the book making the hand/body motions. It is the kind of children's music that is gentle and enjoyable to the adult ear. Great family fun!
I bought this book & the accompanying CD. To be honest, I don't use the book to sing along with the CD as much as I thought I would. But...when I do, it is great. There are wonderful, colorful pictures, English & Spanish words to every song, and an explanation of the origin/tradition of the song. Lots of fun, I hope my 15 month old is absorbing some of it.
My five year old just started learning how to speak Spanish. We have both the book and the CD, and my daughter will read the lyrics in the book (both the English translation and the Spanish) while the CD is playing.We have really been enjoying it.I would like to make a comment to the translator and future publishers of this type of book. As far as I can tell (though I don't speak Spanish), most of the translations are close enough to the original in meaning. That's great! There are a couple of songs that are glaringly different, though. For instance, "Las Horas" has a line that says "A las dos, como arroz." The accompanying English says "Ring two, I tie my shoe." Another line from that song: "A las Cuatro, voy al teatro," has accompanying english that says "Ring Four, I open the door."PUH-LEAZE!!!! DON'T DO THAT!!!This is a big problem for us.At least, for the way that my daughter and I are using this book, we don't need the lyrics to rhyme in English. We do, however, need the English to say what it says in Spanish.Anyway, with the exception of a few of the song translations, great job!
This is a great book that both my kids love. I also got the CD that goes with it. The illustrations are very interesting and filled with details. If you can read music you can also play the songs along. I highly recommend it.
The author, Jose Luis Orozco, is a bilingual educator/singer who keeps English-speaking and Spanish-speaking children interested throughout his books and accompanying music. As a substitute teacher, I have used his books and tapes extensively in elementary school classes over the years. I have had the privilege of attending his concerts at elementary schools several times and have thoroughly enjoyed his work.I recommend the two books authored by Jose Luis Orozco, that I have purchased and read many times with students.
This book is ok, not a lot of good songs that I remember as a kid. I'm sure it would be a lot better if I had the CD that comes with it but I don't feel the book is worthy of me spending more money since I didn't really like the book.
This is my 14 month old's favorite songbook right now-- the tunes are so catchy my husband and I find ourselves singing the songs throughout the day. I bought the book and the mp3s separately (don't know why they are not sold together). Highly recommend both.
