Writing team Alma Flor Ada and F. Isabel Campoy bring to life this traditional Spanish nursery rhyme through a bilingual English/Spanish picture book. A little girl begins with ten puppies of ten different breeds, but one by one they leave the group: One takes off to chase a cat, one comes down with the flu, and another leaves to sing with Juan. The result is one less puppy at the turn of each page. Before long only one is left—the pup that will never go “'cause he knows I love him so.” Rhyming, repetition, and the inclusion of musical notation make this a rhyme to be sung, and explanations of each puppy offer more information on various dog breeds. Gentle color illustrations by Ulises Wensell accompany this simple yet engaging nursery rhyme. (Ages birth–6)

Oh, I had ten little puppies,
Ten little puppies had I . . .

Count along in Spanish and English as each one of the ten adorable puppies disappears from the pages—it's a bilingual bonanza!

Isabel Campoy, and a delightful English adaptation by Rosalma Zubizarreta will make this edition an instant family favorite.
