We bought this for our four year old. Each page has a letter of the alphabet,with a word and a picture. I guess it is okay for really basic, but my husband had taken several spanish classes, so I think we were looking for more. There is no help in pronunciation of the word. It is not like you can sound the words out so if you do not know some spanish, good luck.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun to color, ages pre-k through 2nd, May 3, 2008

This review is from: Let's Learn Spanish Coloring Book (Let's Learn Coloring Books) (Paperback)

My younger students enjoy getting this as a prize upon an achievement of some sort. The pictures are easy to recognize and interesting enough to hold the attentions of 4 year old through 7 year olds. The only downfall is that there is no phonetic spelling, so students who are just beginning may learn the pronunciation incorrectly if a Spanish speaker is not around to help. Otherwise, a good product.
