This small boxed set library connects children with literary orality, anticipates ways of expressing themselves, and offers images that will remain in their memory.
The Reading Box gathers the literary orality of Latin America expressed in sayings and written traditions and organizes them into a series of categories: riddles, hand and finger games, nonsense verses, tongue-twisters, songs, start, endings and variations of stories and verses, and lullabies for the little ones.
