About this title

Synopsis

Here's an easy and informal language-teaching book intended especially for families with younger children. The book dramatizes a day in the lives of children, starting as they wake up in the morning and concluding that night at bedtime. More than 400 cartoon-style illustrations reinforce vocabulary retention and clarify meanings. Boys and girls pick up new words, phrases, and language skills as they are guided from their bedrooms (toys, clothing, numbers) and through the house (names of family members, rooms, furniture). In the kitchen they learn Spanish words for appliances and foods. Outdoors and down the street, they pick up words for workers, cars, trucks, buses, and more. At school they discover Spanish words for objects in the playground and classroom. Back home again and ready for dinner, they learn more Spanish words until bedtime.
