Hold onto for Cinco de Mayo, Carnivale, Feliz Navidad and other holidays too.

The text gives older readers instructions on how to get kids to perform plays, songs, dances and poems. Great way for adults to make sure kids get their excercise while learning about other cultures and having fun.

Very good condition. The book is bilingual -- seems mostly English/Spanish....And also what I assume must be some English/Portuguese since some pages focus on Brazil.

The readership is aimed at adults or teens either parenting, counseling or teaching children. Not marketed directly to children 12 and under. Many full color illustrations - a lot of full page art, 1/2 page, and 1/4 page illustrations also.

Title: SONGS AND GAMES OF THE AMERICAS
Published in 1943
Measures at approximately 7 ¼ in length by 9 ½ inches,

This Hard-To-Find Book is in very good condition. Blue design hardcover with no dust jacket is in very strong and sturdy condition. Pages seem clean and never used. It was once owned by a library and it seems as if the librarian may have been the only one who opened this book since the pages are still crisp and unmarked with the exception of the typical library stamps/marks – mostly on the title page, endpapers, and I saw a faded stamp on the bottom of 1 page. Genuine vintage with the old-fashioned library card holder in the back and library code on spine.

Outside of book is very clean looking in good condition. Perfect for all the upcoming birthdays, holidays, and spring/summer outdoorsy events!

final sale.

A Rare Gem!
