This is not a good resource for parents OR educators
As a native Spanish speaker I do not recommend this book.I even found a major spelling error ! The translations are poor and the choice of songs/rhymes are extracted from English ones.I was excited to buy it , but had to return it.

Great Collection
This book has a great variety of writings. The stories are very interesting, and studying the rhymes is a great way to get a more nuanced understanding of Spanish. I use this book to help me improve my Spanish language skills. I am sure the book is good for reading to children, but I purchased it to help me learn to speak Spanish.

Wonderful for the bilingual preschool teacher
This book has many helpful short stories, songs, rhymes, and fingerplays for the preschool teacher that children will enjoy. The drawback to the book is the lack of a CD so that you can hear the songs, however if you are already familiar with many English and Spanish childhood songs this shouldn't be a problem. An example of the tunes that this book uses are "The Alphabet Song," "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star," "Do You Know the Muffin Man," "Brilla, Brilla Estrellita," "Are You Sleeping," "I've Been Workin' on the Railroad," "Yankee Doodle," "The Addams Family," and others. [...]

Great Book!
I absolutely love this book! I checked it out of the library and now am looking to purchase it to have for myself.The stories etc are great, reminds me of my childhood and I love having the Spanish version on one side, and the English on the other. It's a great way to learn a language.

a bit boring
one person, one guitar.The songs are quite one-dimensional. The songs themselves are not bad, it's the recording that boring.It needs instruments, better vocals, and a more professional production.I've heard much better.For a more professional product look into Twin Sister Productions.They have spanish products that I like waaaay better.

Its okay.
We didn't really catch on to this one.I know someone else will do better, we just lost interest.

Effective for a little bit of real learning
My 6yo and 3yo love this CD. There's enough English explanation that they follow everything. Even my 3yo is constantly singing the songs, poems and snippets back. We listen to it in the car, which seems to be the most realistic way of absorbing, enjoying and maximizing the experience.

not spanish immersion
I was looking for a CD just in Spanish. I do not like the translation in English. The Spanish part is good.

This is the best Spanish Audio play CD ever purchased
full of very fun songs and games! It has a short lesson with English and Spanish vocabulary words, and then songs or games follow entirely in Spanish!! lots of Spanish on this CD... and some culture too!

This CD will have you moving! (playing the games...) Camida... walk... walk... run... run... corro corro....

The best part is that it comes with a little booklet for parents to read the words as spelled out!! (Some Cds I purchase do not have such a list!)

PS.I did not realize it was an audio CD at first, by the packaging. I thought it was a DVD... but that's OK! Also, As far as I can determine, it is traditional more universal Spanish, not Mexican accent Spanish. ... Read more

The best children's immersion Spanish CD thus far...
After our local elementary school canceled Spanish class due to budget cuts I began looking for a CD that my three kids ages 3 - 7 could listen to in the car while we commute.I checked out many different ones from the local library and while they were okay, they all had annoying voices or music, way too much English, or were just boring.But more importantly, my kids disliked them.So based on the other reviews I purchased Play and Learn Spanish and have been extremely happy.My kids love the CD and will actually ask me to play it.We have listened to it 4 or 5 times already in the last month and can now sing many of the songs and enjoy the dialog.The CD is entirely in Spanish except for the introduction, but the book translates every dialog and song, has pictures for some of the vocabulary, and gives interesting facts about the language and culture.I have been so impressed that I am now buying another Ana Lomba Spanish book and CD.

A great resource
I homeschool my kids and I'm always looking for great language resources for Spanish and French for them. This is a winner! I use this book and Spanish for Little Boystogether for my 2 sons.Both of them keep them interested and focused on learning a new language!And that is saying a lot!

I don't like the voice of speakers...
I really like the words, and songs in this book.
But I don't like the voice of speakers... sounds like they are not professional voice actors. They are pretending a mother and a kid, but their voice are not. I wish they use real kid's voice.
To me, their voice are awful...

Great Resource.......BUT not for Beginners
As a native Spanish speaking mother to two non-native speaking children, I frequently find myself looking for tools that will help me incorporate Spanish into our daily life.The Play and Learn Spanish book and companion CD are a great resource to have on hand for said purpose.However, I do use it as a teaching tool in that I am the one who listens to the CD (for familiarization of implementation and immersion) and then present the information to my children (in the appropriate setting), at a slower pace.I do agree that Ana Lomba and Marcela Summerville speak at a speed that non-native speakers will find very rapid. I also agree with previous reviewers' comments that this program is teacher intensive and will require previous background andknowledge of the language.I recommend it to people in my situation who are fluent and desire different angles of exposure for their children.

Too complex
Not good as a primary text for teaching Spanish at home.Songs are very complicated with lots of difficult vocabulary, while children may learn to sing a song they certainly are not going to know what it means. I am going to be looking for something else to use - very disappointed since some of the other reviewers suggested this would be a good tool to use at home. ... Read more
