The first thing Camila said when I showed her the new CD that had arrived in the mail was:  “¡Mamá! ¡El mono de los colores!”  That was a very good sign. She had immediately recognized the Descubriendo Líneas DVD we had watched and reviewed over a month ago where Bubba–the “mono”–engages with “colores.”  I guess she liked it more than I gave her credit for!

This music CD, Descubriendo los Transportes, is part of the Argentinean-created Descubriendo Líneas catalog of entertainment products in Spanish for children 0-5.  An entrepreneur mom, Ana Eiras, decided to distribute the line in the U.S. after recognizing the value it had for her own bilingual children’s language immersion.

I noticed that my daughter easily engaged with the music thanks to the simple lyrics;  the words are easy to understand and sing-a-long to. I like that the CDs are grouped into basic themes like Discovering your Body, Colors and The Farm, plus the one we have, Transportation, with upbeat, danceable Latin rhythms.  I can definitely see this being useful in a preschool classroom setting as a fun element to incorporate and start conversations about cars, boats, trains, planes, etc.  My girl gets a kick out of the “Barco Pirata” song because the first time we heard it I told her that pirates like to go “ARGH, ARGH,” and now she shouts it every time we play the song. Which, lately, is a lot.

Aside from giving away this CD today, a Línea Descubriendo DVD is one of the many items you’ll have a chance to win next week as part of our Holiday Giveaway Extravaganza, where ONE winner will take over $400 in prizes!  We included Línea Descubriendo because their products make a perfect and original Holiday gift for the bilingual niños in your list; with a price tag to make you want to give and give!  To purchase, visit the Witty Planet store.
