Say Hola to Spanish at the Circus (Elya, Susan Middleton)Susan Middleton Elya
Gebundene Ausgabe
" Come to < I>el circo, bring tu mamá and < I>tus hermanos, < I>abuelos, < I>papá. . . Behold < I>chimpances on their < I>bicicletas. Then look out for < I>monos on < I>motocicletas. " The third title in the < I> Say Hola series by Susan Middleton Elya and Loretta Lopez uses the same format as the first two (< I> Say Hola to Spanish and < I> Say Hola to Spanish, Otra Vez ( Again!)), blending English and Spanish words in bouncy verses, illustrated with silly, costumed critters. Beginning Spanish language students (or anyone who loves to explore new languages) will delight in the Spanish/ English wordplay as they make their way through the big top at the circus. It's easy to figure out what each Spanish word means from the context of the lively rhymes accompanied by bright, playful pictures. There's no reason learning a new language shouldn't be loads of fun-and this book proves it! More than 70 oversized, italicized Spanish words are introduced, and a glossary (with a pronunciation guide) allows readers to double-check what they've learned. ( Ages 4 to 8) < I>-Emilie Coulter
