Say Hola to Spanish, Otra Vez (Again!)

My 3 yr old loves this book. It's a great introduction towards learning Spanish.

A librarian friend recommended this; the bright blue cover with a bull and red cape intrigued me. There are clever illustrations that go along with the Spanish words (I needed to use the glossary in the back for some words). This is a great introductory book for children, but also for someone who is beginning to learn Spanish. Adios!

Susan Middleton Elya has done it again! "Say Hola! to Spanish" was delight to read - aloud; "Say Hola to Spanish, Otra Vez" does not disappoint! On the contrary, students from kindergarten all the way through grade 8 delighted in Ms. Elya's catchy rhymes and plays on words. If you loved "Say Hola! to Spanish" the first time around, "Otra Vez" delivers... again and again!

My four year old daughter would not have anything to do with a Spanish book until I got this one. It's mostly in English, but mixes in over 70 Spanish words in rhyming sentences. The pictures are cute and amusing, which always helps to keep a child's interest. If you are learning Spanish yourself like I am, you'll probably pick up some new vocabulary (juala is cage and tijeras are scissors). But best of all, your child will definitely learn some Spanish. The other day I asked my daughter if she wants to go to the biblioteca and she said, "Oh, the library - sure!".

Say Hola to Spanich Otra Vez is a wonderful book filled with colorful pictures (written by a four time picture book author) and a wonderful glossary of useful spanish phrases.
