My kids have all four Amy Wilson Sanger books. This is their favorite. They love the rhythm, and it's my favorite because I actually can pronounce all the Spanish words.

The illustrations are fun, and this one does include a pronunciation guide on the back for those who are unfamiliar with the Spanish words.

All of her books are just so much fun, but this one tops them out for us.

When I heard about this book, I had to have it. A book about Mexican food for kids...how great (especially for where we live). And it is a great book. My daughters love the descriptions of Mexican food & I love the mixture of Spanish & English. These are words used frequently in our house & words I know my children will need to know. Even for those who don't have a firm grasp on the correct Spanish pronunciation for all the Mexican delights, never fear -- there is a glossary on the back cover with pronunciation guides. The artwork, however, leaves a lot of be desired. It's beautiful for adults, but my daughters really aren't interested in it. They like to hear the words, but will turn away from the pictures (unlike with other books where they are constantly pointing at the illustrations & taking great notice in the details).

My 6 month old ADORES this book. The smiles and giggles start on the first page. We have read this enough times that my 3 1/2 year old "reads" it to his brother. He gets some of the spanish confused(arroz is egg rolls)but that justs adds to the enjoyment. Personally this one is more entertaining than the Book of Sushi. This book is definately worth its weight in gold!!

The colorful pictures, and clever rhymes in this book seem to catch the attention of our 10 month old twin boys...they love it. Very very cute book, well worth the small investment.

Great reading for kids and adults. Love the vocab list on back of book. My one-year-old daughter loves the illustrations.

So let me start by saying, as a dad it is very difficult for me to find both entertaining and witty baby books.. This one kept me laughing for months after i first read it at our public library. In fact i use some of the lines at work to annoy both my co-workers and my boss's. It still brings a smile to my face every time i have to change a diaper to say hey baby, your cheese is melting out your end!
Ok so i like stupid humor, but so will you... a must have for any father!

I received "My First Book of Sushi" as a gift at my shower, and love it, so I looked for others by this author. I really enjoy this book, as it has a nice cadence/rhymes. And I like that it mixes in some Spanish words and explains them. We also have Chaats and Sweets, and will probably by the Dim Sum book soon. Definitely a good addition to my childs book collection.

This book is too much fun. I didn't think of how I was reading it, until my husband said he liked my accent. It's hard to read without having fun with it. Love!

If you are a foodie and want to share your love of food with you little one these books are perfect. The art is a mix of paper cutouts and found objects and the rhyming story is very cute. You'll be repeating things like "Hola Jalapeno" to your little one with glee! I just wish this author would put out more of this series of books.

Very cute book. I am now looking for nice Mexican wood play food to go with it for my grand daughter.
