Horn Book (Tue Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2014)

The lyrics for a favorite Latino folk song are presented in Spanish and English. In the cumulative story, a frog starts to sing but "along came a fly and hushed her mouth." The same thing happens to a progression of animals, including humans. The lyrics don't work as a picture book text; the amateurish illustrations are unappealing. Of interest only for bilingual sing-alongs. Music is included.

Based on a traditional folk song that has been sung by parents and children in Spanish-speaking countries for generations, Canta, Rana, canta / Sing, Froggie, Sing is a charming tale in which a "frog was sitting under the water, when she decided to croak out loud." But a fly came along and "hushed her mouth." When the fly decided to buzz out loud, "along came a spider and hushed her mouth."In each verse, an insect or animal larger than the one in the previous stanza hushes the smaller one. So the fly hushes the frog, the spider hushes the fly, the mouse the spider, the cat the mouse and so on. The book's cumulative structure encourages kids to practice their memorization skills while becoming familiar with animals and the sounds they make.This bilingual edition contains an updated version of the original Spanish, a first-ever English translation and the musical annotation of the folksong. With animals, people and music whimsically depicted by illustrator Carolyn Dee Flores, this book will inspire a new generation to discover a unique cultural tradition.
