Pin Pon by Susie Jaramillo - ADVISABLE


Pin Pon by Susie Jaramillo.  BOARD BOOK. Encantos Media. $11. 9781945635373

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - ADVISABLE

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH

The Emmy-nominated and award winning series Canticos bring us this beloved Nursery Rhymes collection.  Pin Pon is written in both English and Spanish and teaches little ones about manners and personal hygiene in both languages.  Pin Pon is a cardboard cut-out who shows how to wash your face, use both hands when drinking a cup of milk, and listens to his mommy every time she speaks.  Most pages have a lift the flap which focuses on Spanish and English words or phrases such as mirror, milk and I love you! The left page is written in English, the right page is translated into Spanish.  The story ends with a pledge between an elephant and Pin Pon to be friends forever. 

Pin Pon is a sweet board book focusing not only on a little boy but his elephant friend as well.  Because it is written in both Spanish and English the board book can be used both in reading to little children and also helping to teaching children bilingual words and phrases.  Pin Pon is a delightful character that children will love.  Little fingers will thrill at this lift-the-flap book.
