My Review
I chose to read this book after receiving a free copy from Smith Publicity. All opinions in this review are my own and completely unbiased.
This children’s book about community is written in both Spanish and English. Whichever language you know, and whichever one you don’t know, it’s a great resource to start learning. I learned a little Spanish in school years ago, but I plan on reading this book several times to my grandkids so that we can start to learn a little Spanish together.
The illustrations are eye catching and colorful and will keep children’s attention. There is more information at the end of the book including a link to music. Even better, everything at the end of the book is also in both languages. I can’t wait to share this book with my grandkids tomorrow!
