"This is a perfect book for parent and child to share one-on-one." -- Book Links

"The bright, beautiful oil-wash illustrations for these 15 lullabies, nursery rhymes, and finger-play games reflect the diversity of the Latino experience. . . [T]he rhythm and poetry travel with music and fun." -- Booklist

"In a gift to mothers everywhere, Delacre includes all of the best known lullabies from the Latino culture -- a veritable Latina Mother Goose" -- The Horn Book

"The short rhythmic compositions are accompanied by large watercolor illustrations showing Hispanic mothers and children. Warm colors and nurturing situations work well with the rhythms of the lullabies to produce a reassuring whole." -- School Library Journal

"Warm illustrations with earth-toned backgrounds and more brightly dressed characters provide settings for this collection of 15 Spanish-language nursery rhymes.... A tender collection, most welcome for the home and perhaps also appropriate for some daycare or lapsit settings." -- Kirkus Reviews
