Try Lorca's "The Cricket Sings"

"Translated ingeniously by Will Kirkland and illustrated brilliantly by Maria Horvath. Incredibly, this is the first translation of these great little poem/songs....Perfect, with the Spanish and English on facing pages. A child could almost learn English (or Spanish) from them...as gifts for all children and peors, no age limit at either end." Beliot Poetry Journal
