Four folktales,
three classic Latin American songs and two original songs including
the award-winning "Listening And Talking - Hablando Y Escuchando"
will captivate ages 4 and up. Fun for the whole family! Stories
are mostly in English with some Spanish words and phrases. Original
songs have Spanish and English lyrics, the other songs are in Spanish
with English narration. |

Love The Legend! My 5 year-old twin daughters are learning to speak Spanish at their preschool. I’m always looking for opportunities to reinforce their lessons at home. This CD is one of our favorites. Sue Young charmingly weaves Spanish and English together in these beautifully told stories and delightful songs in a way that entertains and teaches at the same time. Parents will be singing along, too." |

| "Dear
Ms. Young, The boys and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoy your CD "every day". We love the songs and the music so much that I have to plan extra time into our schedule so we can sit in the parking lot at school and finish whatever part we are listening to. The boys are so proud when they say "We speak English and Spanish" and the CD weaves the two languages together beautifully. The most amazing review however comes from my husband...who almost never actively wants to listen to the "children's music" that we play when we drive my car. They other day we were listening to " The Tiger And The Armadillo" and when we got home HE was the one who would not let us get out of the car until the story was over! Thank you again for your stories and music, there are just great on so many levels and are a bright spot in our days. |

regards, Wendy, Marcus and Alexander Tita" |

| Local musician Sue Young comes from a big family and started her musical career as a child, so she knows how to entertain. Just as important, she knows how to use music to expand a child’s knowledge and interests. Like several of her previous albums, The Legend Of The Quetzal/La Leyenda Del Quetzal combines music and folklore from Latin America, interspersing Spanish and English words so naturally that even those with limited language skills can follow along. The album includes three traditional songs, including the familiar “Guantanamera” and “La Cucaracha”, as well as folktales. Ms Young introduces each song and folktale, which helps listeners understand the origins and meanings of the stories and how they connect to the songs, Young’s voice is clear and bright, and her enthusiasm invites everyone to join in singing or toe-tapping. The stories are of varying lengths, ranging from seven minutes to more than 12 minutes, and each can be enjoyed independently or as an hour-long concert. Sue Young’s talent appeals to the whole family. | |
