Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreSchool-Grade 2?"Spanish is fun,/ so give it a try./ Hola is hello,/ adios is good-bye." So begins this catchy introduction to some basic vocabulary. The almost-musical rhymes resemble a commercial jingle and facilitate learning. The Spanish terms are printed in bold throughout the text, along with plenty of visual clues, to make it easy for youngsters to decipher them. A glossary of the 70 words with pronunciations and the English equivalent is provided. However, since the pronunciation guide appears at the end, the book is best suited for reading aloud by a person already familiar with the language. The colorful cartoons are adequate, but often awkwardly drawn. Lynn Reed's Pedro, His Perro, and the Alphabet Sombrero (Hyperion, 1995) is similar in scope.?Maria Redburn, Irving Public Library, TX
Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.


From Booklist

Ages 4-9. "Spanish is fun, / so give it a try. / `Hola' is hello, / `adios' is good-bye." In such singsong, Dr. Seuss-style rhymes, more than 70 Spanish words are introduced either directly or through usage. In purple, hot pink, melon, and turquoise, the exuberant gouache and colored pencil illustrations are flooded with creamy southwestern hues. Together, text and illustrations create a fiesta of lively language fun, perfect for spicing up a story hour or sneaking in a first Spanish lesson. A Spanish language teacher for 10 years, the author hasn't forgotten to include a glossary and pronunciation guide at the end. Annie Ayres

5.0 out of 5 stars Say Bravo to Hola!, July 25, 2001
By Daniel L. Berek (Flanders, NJ, United States) - See all my reviews
Do you need a book that will delight children from 5 to 13? "Say Hola! to Spanish" did exactly that for my students, from kindergarten through grade 8 - er, ocho. Children of all ages (and that includes this middle-aged teacher of Spanish) will delight to the likes of the following: "Your hair is your pelo, your nose is nariz. Your grandmother's pelo is probably gris." "Bread is called pan and cheeses are quesos. That's what we eat, but perros eat huesos." Learning foreign words could not be more fun!

4.0 out of 5 stars My niece loved this!, April 26, 2005
I had seen this book in the bookstore, but I had resisted buying it because it doesn't use the Spanish articles. However, after my niece kept repeating the 10-15 Spanish words she learned at school and from watching Dora the Explorer, I realized that this book would be great for her (and my sister/her mom who doesn't speak any Spanish). The first time I read it to her, she repeated every verse back to me--on her own, I did not ask her to do it. I think this will help her learn quite a few more Spanish words.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review of Say Hola to Spanish, April 10, 2001
A Kid's Review
Say Hola to Spanish

By Susan Middleton Elya

Reading Level 1.3

Say Hola to Spanish teaches all the basic words in a dictionary (like table, horse, etc...). Once your young son/daughter reads this book. He/she will be sharing this book with friends and talking Spanish when she knows something he/she can say. This is a great book for birthday presents, presents for communions, and Christmas presents. This is a great book for children ages 4 to 6. If you would like to learn the basic Spanish this is the book for you!
