De Colores-Bright with Colors

De Colores-Bright with Colors
Pictures by David Diaz
Marshall Cavendish Children 2008 

From the book, "Composed by a group of pilgrims on the mountain roads in Spain in the sixteenth century, 'De Colores' is now sung all over the Spanish speaking world...It is also the anthem of the United Farm Workers..." 

David Diaz does a wonderful job with his illustration of this bilingual version of the popular song. The song includes some animal references and can be included in a color or animal unit. 

The book includes the sheet music in the back to play or you can find versions online from Raffi or Jose-Luis Orozco.
