Senor Pancho Had a Rancho

About this book

When it comes to having fun everyone speaks the same language! "Old MacDonald Had a Farm" goes multicultural in this rollicking Spanish-English rendition. An abundance of onomatopoeia and tongue-twisters encourages children to laugh and sing along. The colorful illustrations perfectly match the silly text comparing the two farms and their playful singing animals. The barnyard animals on Old MacDonalds and Seor Panchos farms have a hard time communicating. MacDonalds rooster says cock-a doodle-doo! while Seor Panchos gallo says quiquiriqu. The English-speaking chick says peep peep but el pollito says pio pio. Then the cow says mooand la vaca says mu! Maybe theyre not so different after all! The animals come together for a barnyard fiesta in a celebration of languages. A pronunciation guide is included for readers and teachers. This book was awarded Bank Streets Book of the Year.
