School Library Journal - 01/31/2025 Toddler-PreS—This new addition to the "Mexican Folk Art" series by centers around music and those who bring music to life. Intricately carved wooden birds each hold a special instrument: accordion, guitar, trombone and much more! Each double-page spread is bright and colorful, teaching children about the different instruments and what they are called in English and Spanish. After highlighting each instrument, the birds gather with the singers and conductor and are ready to create music together. The large, bold text makes the words easy to read and the vocabulary is fun to learn as readers easily spot the instruments on each page. Readers are sure to enjoy each of the beautifully carved birds, spotting new details on each wooden piece of art with every reading. VERDICT A wonderful addition to this creative bilingual board book series, this title shows children different types of instruments in English and Spanish while also highlighting a talented artisan from Mexico.—Selenia Paz - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
