Carolyn Dee Flores Singing CANTA RANA CANTA w Preschoolers

Watch what happens when Carolyn Dee Flores reads her picture book - "Canta Rana Canta/ Sing Froggie Sing" - to a class of 4 yr. olds from a Spanish Immersion Preschool in Houston for El Día de Los Niños.

She sings "Dona Nobis Pacem" (for Froggie's voice) - and out of the blue, the preschoolers start singing back!

 4 year olds, well, they're amazing!
