I bought this as a supplement to my "Spanish for Gringos" book (which is
also very good). The workbook makes learning Spanish fun. Okay, so it's
targeted for kids in the 1st to 3rd grades, but what better way to learn
Spanish than from a book that works with the very basics of the language? I
bought a second copy of this for a co-worker and have suggested it to the
individual that teaches Conversational Spanish where I work.

We like this book very much. It helps make Spanish practice/review
easier...HOWEVER it is NOT for someone who does not know how to pronounce words
in Spanish. I have taken Spanish from high school through college
(unfortunately, I am not yet fluent), so my son is familiar w/ pronounciation. I
could not imagine trying to educate a child with this book alone if they are not
already familiar with Spanish pronounciation (or at least have someone available
for reference). Also, I am frustrated that helpful flash"cards" are made out of
flimsy paper instead of card stock (common w/ Amer. Ed. Publishing). Arrrggghhh!!!
I would give a 5 if that change was made...

I am a former high school Spanish teacher now teaching to children ages 1-11
years old. I use this workbook for the kids starting at 3 years all the way up
to 11. This is a great introduction to Spanish. It covers a lot a vocabulary and
includes some introductory grammer.

I'm an adult, trying to learn Spanish on my own, and I found this book in a
local bookstore. I bought it, then bought a pack of crayons, and did all of the
activities in this book. It took me probably about 15 hours, probably because I
spent some extra time coloring.
It's really a great learning resource, and it's so good that I think I learned
all of the words in this book. I was surprised how this format makes learning
these words so fast.
If they make more advanced books in this series, I would buy them all.
It's probably good for kids, too.

has good exercises for the kids.

I bought this book a while back and I havn't regretted it since. I've used a
number of sheets in my primary (Spanish) classrom that really helped to
reinforce the vocabulary they've learned. Its also fun and interesting too!

I am currently using this workbook with my beginning Spanish students. Although
designed for very young students, the activities can be used with any age level.
It is colorful and easy to use. It does what it should do very well, the only
difficulty is that it may appear too childish for middle-schoolers. (Mine
haven't complained too much!)

This is a WONDERFUL book for teachers to pull from when they need more
worksheets or ideas to give a spin on the topic of the day in their Spanish
class.
If you don't know Spanish and are trying to teach your child Spanish, it might
be a little less than helpful - there's no phonetic spelling - just a lot of
great review, wonderful pictures, and this thing is HUGE! It has tons of
categories from Numbers, letters, colors, food, etc and even has flashcards and
games in the back to cut out. It's full-color and my children really enjoy just
looking at it, even though they can't read yet (they're all under four.) I agree
on its age range of first -third grade. If you have younger kids, you probably
need a CD as well. For elementary review, this is WONDERFUL for summer, or
anytime!

I teach Spanish at a community college. I also, from time to time, teach
specialized courses in legal, medical, police, you-name-it Spanish. This would
be a terrific supplement to the materials necessary for those courses. In
addition to writing my own curriculum for each, this would give a needed boost
to lots of concepts in a workbook format. I wish I could require it for my
beginning college students! They would love it!
