The creators of different introductory Spanish language books return with a third volume where action takes place at the circus. English/Spanish words accompany observations of circus life and scenes in Say Hola to Spanish, a gentle learning tool which is perfect for parent/child read-aloud.

As father of two kids, I am always looking for tools to help teach them Spanish. Due to their age I am still keeping it very basic and what a more wonderful way to introduce them to not only a little Spanish but more importantly a little taste of Spanish culture. My children absolutely loved the illustrations which made the book that much more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this wonderful Spanish experience to any parent and their child.

This book is a great way to teach young children some Spanish! The pictures are colorful, the vocabulary is basic. Good for children ages 1-3.

I am teaching my son to speak Spanish and this book has been a great tool to teach him pronunciation.

Who says learning a new language can't be fun? Susan Middleton Elya and Loretta Lopez prove once again how fun it can be in the latest installment of the SAY HOLA series, this one set in a circus. Told in springy verses and highlighted with delightfully silly costumed creatures, the wordplay between english and spanish is as easy as it is playful.

Each Spanish word is accompanied by colorful pictures emphasing the text (trapecistas depict graceful trapeze artists, elefantes show whimsical elephants, etc.) Complete with a glossary and a pronunciation guide, your kids will be learning spanish quicker than you can say, payasos (clowns.) I even learned a few words myself!

I love this book "Say hola to spanish at the Circus"! I love Loretta Lopez' vibrant colors and the expressions on her characters faces- they feel so familiar to me. this is a book for adults as well as children.

Delightful book, playfully written with beautiful, fun illustrations. It's a very appealing way to introduce young children to the Spanish language.
