Rose Williams, author and emerita Latin teacher, joins forces with Nashville musician CC Couch to bring four Latin stories to life via song. Based on Williams' popular children's fables, I Am Reading Latin Stories, these 16 songs by Couch and 4 readings by Williams both teach and entertain. Each of the four stories, Rena Rhinoceros, Taurus Rex, Ursus et Porcus, and Octavus Octopus, is accompanied by a reading and four songs plus a PDF eBook containing the lyrics.

This little book is a stepping stone for people who have some Spanish and want to connect it to Latin, and for people who have some Latin and want to connect it to Spanish. It is not written in a particular idiomatic form in either Latin or Spanish, as idiomatic use in both languages has always varied according to the region in which the language is used and the period of time in which it is used. The stories are chosen to tell the same story in both languages with almost the identical words, and the words used may be less than idiomatic in both languages. After grasping the connections between the two languages in this little study, readers can advance their more exact knowledge of both languages.
