Fun book with interesting songs

As a Spanish teacher at the high school and university level, I find that most of the songs are a bit juvenile for my students, but still, some songs can be very useful. The pictures are exciting, and the songs are arranged seasonaly. In addition, the music for the songs is included (the melody, at least), which puts this book a step above the rest!
