Jingle Bells / Navidad by Susie Jaramillo - HIGH

Jingle Bells / Navidad
by Susie Jaramillo
BOARD BOOK BILINGUAL Encantos, 2021. $11. 9781945635410 

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre K - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Two holiday songs are presented side by side with the mother hen and her chicks and their friends doing outdoor winter things, like riding in a sleigh and building a snowman, and inside things like having a fiesta, enjoying treats and opening presents. 

Navidad is not a translation of Jingle Bells, but Navidad can be sung to the tune of Jingle Bells and that is why they are paired. Canticos has made a fun holiday lift the flap book. The flaps are sturdy, with illustrations both underneath and on the back - so be sure to open them all the way. There's a QR code at the front of the book to download the app, and I love that it says "Being bilingual helps build better brains!"
