From Publishers Weekly
PreSchool-These three volumes provide the groundwork for early bilingual language learning. The colorful and attractive illustrations (by different artists) feature multicultural children in many different situations. Each page provides both the English and Spanish words for the concepts featured. Many new words are introduced, from weather vocabulary to time concepts and opposites. The pronunciation guides at the end provide very helpful assistance in both languages so that native speakers in either language can use these books. This series is highly recommended for bookstores and public libraries. M.O.B.

Customer Reviews

Great addition to any Spanish Curriculum!
Alone, this is a wonderful book that teaches time telling very concisely and on a good level for children. As an addition to a Spanish curriculum, it's quite good - it proves to the student that telling time is useful, not difficult (with repetition), is presented in a bright new way that engages the student - and as other reviewers have pointed out, the parent as well! Using it with Flip Flop Spanish: Ages 3-5: Level 1, both my children and students have enjoyed this book.

What Time Is It?
I enjoyed reading this book to my two young children and was impressed at the ease that it contained in the teaching of Spanish. My kids were able to grasp the language and had no difficulty in learning it. Not only did I enjoy the book they did. Even though it's written on a Pre-school level, I am able to refer to it from time to time and I too am learning the language. I have read other books by this author and will continue to build my library with her books. I am glad to be able to learn Spanish myself, and have my children enjoy learning it to.

What time is it?/¿Qué hora es?
Excellent for teaching time to ages 3 to 5.
