Canticos (or ''little songs'') is a branded collection of beloved nursery songs from all over the Spanish-speaking world designed to entertain and educate children of all backgrounds. Canticos products include books, apps, and sing-along videos.

The seventh book in the Canticos series of bilingual nursery rhymes, My Little Donkey / Mi Burrito revisits the classic Latino Christmas song Mi Burrito Sabanero. The song, which has been recorded by numerous popular Latino artists, tells the story of a little donkey as he makes his way to Bethlehem for the birth of Jesus Christ, guided by a star and meeting friends along the way. Like other Canticos books, My Little Donkey / Mi Burrito has a unique, interactive, accordion design that presents the Spanish version of the book in one direction and its English adaptation in the other. Children can sing the song straight through, spot their favorite Canticos characters, and stand the book up to be surrounded by the story.

Presents a bilingual version of a traditional Latin American song about skeletons rising from the grave on each hour, with art inspired by the famous Mexican "calavera" woodcut prints and clock hands to move to agree with the song.

Little Elephants is based on a traditional Mexican counting song and is one of the oldest (and best!) methods of putting a child to sleep -- the verses, which describe how a number of elephants come to be balancing on a spider web, can be repeatedly endlessly by changing only the number of elephants each time around. This English adaptation is the only one that truly matches the melody of the Spanish so that parents can sing it in English as well as in Spanish.
