PreS-Gr 3—Male and female adults and children give voice to these 30 songs and rhymes in Portuguese. The folk tunes include samba, bossa nova, and fandango styles. Some are slow and soft, while others are very lively and upbeat. Musicians give excellent performances on bandolim, accordion, whistles, gourds, and maracas, among the instruments. Song titles include "Boi, Boi, Boi," "Samba, Samba, Samba Lê Lê," and "Teresinha de Jesus." The book features lush paintings depicting scenes from the songs and nursery rhymes, Portuguese and English lyrics, and a paragraph of information about the song or rhyme. This set is an excellent addition to multicultural children's music collections.—Beverly Wrigglesworth, San Antonio Public Library, TX
