Customer Reviews

A book es un libro...

Cute, goofy, bilingual rhymes that introduce Spanish vocabulary through kooky jokes... I like that each poem is in both Spanish and English, and that the definitions are reinforced through humor -- one of the stronger ways to learn -- and that each language is used to explore the other, back and forth, back and forth... The rhymes can be a little hard to wrap your tongue around, but there's wit and whimsy and it doesn't talk down to the readers... A nice addition to any bilingual library! (ReadThatAgain!)

Spanish with Giggles

Silly rhymes (Jay Harris) and silly pictures (Matt Cordell) make up this adorable book. Harris introduces or reinforces Spanish vocabulary with poems that are "Shel Silverstein" fun. For example, Un arbol is a tree. Una roca is a rock. I'd rather have una roca Than un arbol in my sock. Lots of giggles are sure to follow!
