And thank you for sharing your website with us - I see that you set it up to help keep Spanish going for families who have moved to the US: a very useful respource - and I spotted a couple of songs I might try out on my own classes of very English Spanish-learners!

There are some stories, although I am sorry to say, more commonplace and commercial in a site I built: <a href="http://www.BooksLibros.com/SpanishForNinos.htm" rel="nofollow"> http://www.BooksLibros.com/SpanishForNinos.htm </a>.
