Vamos a la Playa!!! What an awesome follow-up to "Silly Farm Adventure"!!! My girls (5 and 3) love Professor Pocket and all her friends, and were very happy to find out she was back with an all new adventure!! The songs are catchy and the story is engaging. And, Professor Pocket nails 5-year-old humor (which means she wants to listen to it again and again). It's amazing to hear them singing in Spanish, and then hearing certain words pop up in their conversations! In fact, we were listening to the CD during summer camp carpool this morning with a friend who didn't know Professor Pocket. She instantly fell in love with it and was thrilled to recognize some Spanish words that she already knew. And, during the post-camp afternoon playdate, I heard our little friend singing "No hace frio, hace calor" after only hearing the song once in the car! Where will Professor Pocket go next? The Whitlock girls cannot wait to find out!

I own every teach-your-kids Spanish CD sold by Amazon. Professor Pocket's CDs are the best bar none. My child (age 4) listens to them over and over again. The Farm Adventure is super. The Hawaiian Adventure is equally outstanding (my child's favorite). Buy them both. The story lines are fun. The music is great. I can't say enough good things about these products.

My 3 year old daughter loves this CD - we listen to it to and from school. She sings right along with the songs and I find them catchy too. It's a great way to reinforce the Spanish that she's learning and gives us the opportunity to talk about the story. Muy buen!

My three-year-old daughter LOVES both of her Professor Pocket CDs. Thanks for making great educational and FUN CDs that are enjoyable for both kids and parents alike!

I have such respect for Professor Pocket's way of teaching young children Spanish that I am now including a Professor Pocket CD with registration for the Enseniños Spanish classes I teach to preschoolers so they can reinforce learning at home!

Keep 'em coming, Professor Pocket!

My family adores Professor Pocket! My daughter (age 6) waited anxiously for the Hawaiian Hula Adventure after becoming an avid Silly Farm listener and it did NOT disappoint. She loves to listen to it in the car and before she goes to sleep at night. She has taken Spanish in school for 4 years, but I am convinced she has learned more from Professor Pocket than any class. As we were driving to school yesterday morning she integrated the Spanish words for "shell," "surfboard," "ocean," and "waves" into our conversation about weekend plans without missing a beat (we live near the beach). I was astounded. Today, she was talking to the person cutting her hair in Spanish and the woman asked where she learned so many words - her answer? Professor Pocket! My two year old loves to dance to the songs and already tries to pronounce some of the words too. If you are interested in introducing your child/children to the Spanish language in a fun, engaging, and "mommy/daddy friendly" way -- Professor Pocket is the ideal choice.

I got this for my two boys age 5 and 2 1/2, who I would like to have learn Spanish, though no one in our home does. They both enjoy it and the other Prof. Pocket disc very much and both ask for it by name every day. And they are definitely learning new words and having previously-learned vocabulary reinforced. And so am I! It's a fun way to introduce the language. My boys are already asking if there's any more Professor Pocket! So I hope there will be more discs in the future.

This CD is just as good as the first Professor Pocket creation! My 4 year old asks before I even get out of the driveway to play Professor Pocket. The tunes are catchy, and as a parent, I love that there is a story line. As a teacher, I value that the Spanish and English vocabulary work in tandem to help kids learn the language. The characters, Chico and Desi, are so lovable. You can't go wrong with Professor Pocket adventures!

This is the second CD in the series and it's even "catchier" than the first. I have been speaking Spanish as a result of my listening to this in the car with the kids (now 2 years old). We started them on "Our Silly Farm Adventure". I wasn't sure if they would "get it" but just a few months after listening to it there was a day where the song said "uno, dos, tres" and my 20 month old chimed right in from the back of the car. They identify colors in Spanish and use day to day words. Whenever I turn the CD down b/c my phone rings or I want to talk to my husband, they both burst into protests. I love these CD's and highly recommend them for some peaceful driving. My girls sit very quietly listening intently for words they know. Enjoy!!! Paige

Very cute and fun songs and story. My kids and I thoroughly enjoy listening to this cd. They always remember exactly where we left off which tells me they are really absorbing the story and all of the bilingual benefits.

They did it again! A very well made cd with unforgettable music, fun characters and new Spanish vocabulary to learn. My five year old son and I listened to it non-stop as soon as we got it. He then asked me when can we get the next one. I told them as soon as they make another one. :) For those who own this, don't you just love the "Bailar el Hula" song?

Also, the cd comes with the words to all the songs with the translations. At the back of the booklet is a list of the key vocabulary, verbs & expressions used.

Oh, and if you visit their web site - professorpocket.com, you can download activity sheets for free. A great way to reinforce the new vocabulary. (Background: Preschool Spanish Teacher)
