Highlighted Reviews“With humor, zest, and a rhyming text sprinkled with easily understood Spanish words, this delightful ABC book uses the letters of the alphabet as a framework to feature animales in a night of singing, dancing feasting, and playing musical instruments...Cushman's playful illustrations, executed in pen, ink, and watercolor, with gouache and colored pencil, add to this alphabetical fiesta.” —Book Links “[I]n this bilingual alphabet book we have long-trunked elefantes dancing the ting-tong tango with chimpanzees and raccoons doing the rumba with rinocerantes. This is a very joyful, celebratory book, brightly illustrated by Cushman.” —Orlando Sentinental “...a Spanish-flavored concoction that features a host of very liberated zoo animals. The core of the book is jazzy rhymes interspersed with musical-sounding Spanish words...Also an alphabet book, Marimba! contains a Spanish glossary...The alliteration adds plenty of zing to the antics...Real zoos have never been this lively, and its inhabitants are extraordinarily vigorous, even for wild animals. Where but in this book could a child see “Pandas juggle papayas”? – New Britain Herald Press “It’s time for the sloths to salsa, the coyotes to conga, the hippopotami to hula in this rollicking story of a marimba-playing monkey that gets everyone on their feet to dance.” —Ohioana Quarterly "This infectiously cheerful alphabet book includes both Spanish and English animal names (the author deliberately chose examples that are easily recognizable in both languages)...Visual representations of each Spanish word accompany a helpful pronunciation guide. This freshly presented concept book will please children and may tempt librarians to share it at storytime." —School Library Journal |
