MY REVIEW
Escucha Means Listen is an adorable children's picture book that is in English and Spanish. And whether your native language is English/Spanish, this is a wonderful fun book to introduce another language to your child.
The book emphasizes on listening carefully to the things we hear outside. It is a great way to get your child to pay attention to the world around them - learn to really listen, especially to the words that are being read to them; and they will easily be able to picture the sounds and figure out what it is that you are listening to. The book can easily be turned into an interactive game.
And even as an eBook, the pages are beautifully illustrated with vibrant colors and common outside scenes that every child will love to explore and imagine.
This is definitely one of those books to have on your eReader whilst traveling with a little one to easily distract a little one during a difficult time.
I highly recommend this sweet book for children 6 years old and younger.

OMG I would love this. I'm trying to teach my daughter Spanish too. Even though she's still a bit young for this one I would love to have it on her shelf for the future.
