About This Book

You bite with dientes. Don't bite the dentista. Just wait for your check-up and read a revista.

This acclaimed introduction to more than 70 Spanish words is a fiesta of lively language fun, all put together by a veteran teacher and a talented artist. Bouncing but straightforward English rhymes set the scene for each thematic group of vocabulary, with the Spanish words interspersed for easy understanding in context. Extra contextual help is given by the detailed gouache and colored pencil illustrations, which are awash in exuberant hues of purple, hot pink, melon, and turquoise, and full of funny surprises. A glossary provides definitions and pronunciation guidelines for all the words in one easy reference. This fun-filled resource is an irresistible way to introduce children of all language backgrounds to the excitement of learning a second way to communicate.
