Book Review - Spanish-English Word Puzzle Book

About the Book
Younger boys and girls have fun learning basic vocabulary in a second language when they open this book. It presents puzzles that use 14 child-friendly themes as it teaches Spanish vocabulary to English-speaking children and English vocabulary to Spanish-speaking kids. The themes include On the Farm, The Supermarket, Numbers and Months, At the Seashore, In the Classroom, Colors of the Rainbow, In the Country, and seven more. Each theme is presented twice on facing pages. The right-hand page gives English-speaking kids the puzzle to solve in Spanish; and the left-hand page instructs Spanish-speaking kids to solve the puzzle in English. Boys and girls learn words in the new language by working out crossword puzzles, completing word searches, joining the dots, filling in blank spaces, and playing several other word games. They get help in the form of picture clues, and they’ll find answers to all puzzles plus complete bilingual word lists at the back of each book. All puzzle pages feature cheerful color illustrations.

My Take on the Book
This was a great book with a ton of fun puzzles. I have to say that as someone who took Spanish myself and who has a wife who was a Spanish teacher at the Elementary level, this would have been a great book to have in the classroom or to give to parents to supplement their children's education. This book encourages children to have fun while learning a second language and on top of that you can make copies and practice over and over again too! The games are fun and interactive and your kids will have a ton of fun while learning which in my book is always a plus!
