Book Review and Activities of ¡Hola! Let's Learn Spanish

Visit New Places and Make New Friends with
 ¡Hola! Let's Learn Spanish by Judy Martialay 

¡HOLA! Let's Learn Spanish introduces children to Spanish with seven stories fill with tradition, culture, music and language. This book is more than a regular book. It is a manual easy to read that gives children a fun learning experience of a new language.
The book begins with Pete the Pilot who invites children aboard his magic plane for an imaginary trip to Mexico. When the children arrive, they meet Panchito, a Mexican jumping bean who opens the doors to a new words and adventures. When children return, they bring back their Spanish traditions and culture with fun activities.
In the activities and culture corner, children can enjoy a treasure hunt of people and objects, put on a skit with their friends, sig the Piñata song, make a traditional Mexican mask with dried beans.
This book offers an audio version where you can read and practice Spanish pronunciation. Visit: http://polyglotkidz.com.

I recommend this book for age 5-10 years old and for Foreign Language classes in Elementary School or adults who are learning Spanish Level 1-2.

I received a copy of ¡Hola! Let's Learn Spanish from author Judy Martialay  as part of the celebration of Multicultural Children’s Book Day.

Multicultural Children’s Book Day  (1/27/18) is in its 5th year and was founded by Valarie Budayr from Jump Into A Book and Mia Wenjen from PragmaticMom. Our mission is to raise awareness of the ongoing need to include kids’ books that celebrate diversity in home and school bookshelves while also working diligently to get more of these types of books into the hands of young readers, parents and educators.
