Ten Little Puppies/Diez Perritos


Author: Alma Flor Ada & F. Isabel Campoy. English version by Rosalma Zubizarreta. Illustrated by Ulises Wensell. 2011.

Children count along in English and Spanish as ten little puppies disappear. Each page is filled with beautiful illustrations and lively translations from Spanish to English in this classic nursery rhyme. The back of the book contains the song, Diez Perritos/Ten Little Puppies. More information is given about the puppy breeds that are shown in the story.

I highly recommend this book for an enjoyable story time experience. This fast paced story is a delight even for the youngest children!
Recommended teaching tools: ten stuffed toy dogs, or felt puppies on a storyboard, each one removed from view as the puppies disappear from the story; puppy cutouts pasted on paper; ten puppy finger puppets, etc.
