This accessible introductory book provides snippets about Mexican culture while teaching readers the Spanish terms for various animals, foods, numbers, colors, body parts, and modes of transportation. While there is no helpful pronunciation key, the book might entice some youngsters to continue learning the language, but it also offers a starting place for anyone planning to travel to a Spanish-speaking country or to classmates trying to communicate with their Spanish-speaking peers. The simple but colorful illustrations complement the text rather than distracting from it. As I read it, I was taken back to some of the Spanish classes that I took in high school and middle grades.

Little ones will enjoy diving into this small wealth of words and have fun trying out the different terms as they go along.
This book takes a first glance into the world of Spanish. The first pages are more for guardians/caretakers/teachers (etc) as an overall look into the Spanish language is presented—how many types of Spanish, where, how many people speak it, and so forth. After this short intro, the book dives into the words.
The book is divided into themes ranging from animals to vegetables to travel to family and much more. Each two-page spread is decorated with various, illustrated items fitting to the theme. Underneath each one is the term in English and then (with fitting article) in Spanish.
My kids enjoyed flipping through and trying to pronounce the different words, and I'm sure they'll remember a few of their favorites. I was a little disappointed that there isn't a section on pronunciation or any help on this front, since a few of the letters are pronounced quite differently in Spanish than English. But it still lets young readers explore everyday words and enjoy letting the foreign language roll of their tongues. It won't teach them Spanish, but that's also not the goal. It opens them up to it in a fun way, and that's already a leap in the right direction.
I received a complimentary copy and my family (as well as myself) had quite a bit of fun flipping through this one.

This book needed pronunciation ‘s of the words used.
They should have been used in sentences. It was just thrown together without any order. The pictures did not always go along with the words. There were only one to two words per page. I would rather read a kids book to learn Spanish.

Quick and easy to read, pretty art, but you really gotta bake these words into your brain.

A serviceable introduction to Spanish, as spoken by native speakers in North America.
Grouped by topic, a small illustration is labeled in both English and Spanish - in a manner similar to books by Richard Scarry. Topics include animals, body parts, foods, colors, numbers to 10, a few words about school, home, and traveling places, and weather/seasons.
Illustrations are average graphic quality - easy to identify, in unusual color combinations.
For PreSchool-grade 3.
