I love how this book incorporates pre-kindergarten skills as it introduces Spanish. I love the opportunities to draw your own objects that are certain colors, shapes, and quantities. This not only encourages fine motor skills but also imagination and creativity. --Tina Auten, M.Ed., Preschool Teacher, Topeka Public Schools I recommend this practical book that introduces kids to my mother tongue through attractive and eye-catching images. The expert author engages kids, awakening their interest and motivation to learn a new language. --Silvia Bueno Montavez, Language Teacher This is a great book for parents interested in their young kids learning some elementary Spanish. Focusing only on basic colors, shapes, and numbers, Mrs. Stuart-Campbell provides basic pronunciation clues for each Spanish word, along with several interactive activities, providing a fun first step for kids to learn Spanish, one of the world's most widely spoken languages. Highly recommended! --Miguel Gonzalez-Abellas, PhD, Professor of Spanish
