Customer Reviews

So much fun to read!

I borrowed this book from our public library to read to my 4-year old daughter who attends Spanish Immersion preschool. It is so much fun to read and she is learning Spanish words at the same time. This is one of my all-time favorite books!

Fun and easy to read and learn spanish!

I love these books they make reading and learning Spanish fun. My little one likes all the bright colors and the illustrations.

A book that helps us English-speakers learn the Spanish alphabet and how to pronounce Spanish words.

I loved this book! It took me through the Spanish alphabet connecting each letter to a Spanish word in a sentence dominated by English words. In the very front of the book is a glossary of Spanish words used in the book. Although the book helps the reader learn a little Spanish as well as English, it has a little story behind it. The setting is a kid's birthday party and what happens at such an event. The text is very good and the illustrations were a joy to look at. I would have liked the book better if the "birthday kid" had been introduced at the beginning and we had learned a few things about him (or her) by reading the book. We never do get to put a name on the birthday kid in this book. 5 stars!

Great buy for a bilingual preK or Kindergarten teacher

I teach in a preschool classroom made up of 50% English speakers and 50% Spanish speakers. I love using this book in my classroom because it ties in the Spanish culture and both the English and Spanish language. My English speakers feel special because they are learning to say some Spanish words, and my Spanish speaking children feel comfortable hearing words that are familiar to them. All the while we are having an open dialouge about the letters of the alphabet!
