Book of the Week-Say Hola to Spanish

Say Hola to Spanish by Susan Middleton Elya is a great book to introduce English speaking children to Spanish. Keep in mind, however, that this is an instroduction to Spanish. The Spanish words are integrated into the English sentences in a poetic way to introduce the children to so much vocabulary. It really is a great introduction. When I read this book to the children, they ask for it over and over and over again. This is especially useful when you have a new child who speaks no English; it opens up the door to communication between them and the children who speak no Spanish. A very fun, charming, engaging book!
