Música amiga: Do, re, mi, ¡Sí, sí!

~A guest post by F. Isabel Campoy


Do, Re, Mi, ¡Sí, Sí!  VOLUME 8


Every one of these volumes can be used with children of any age for the appreciation of poetry and music, and the development of concepts and values.

There is much joy and humor in this book/CD combination. The ballad of El señor don Gato has enchanted many generations of children. Oficios is a poem/song filled with humor that will delight readers of any age with the many jobs that it considers - but the favorites are those that the heart chooses. La lluvia is one of Alma Flor’s favorites plays with the rhythm of drops falling. My three poems/songs in this volume play with metaphor and symbolism, manifest the love for a pet, and elicit a personal response when presented with Guillermo’s magical world that lives in the tip of his pencil.

Suni Paz brings her special rhythm to these compositions and the joy of her voice is an invitation for children to sing along.
