My Review of Escucha Means Listen

Esucha Means Listen by Talia Aikens-Nunez was sent to me for review. I have to admit, since it's a childrens book, I wasn't expecting much. I was wrong. Esucha Means Listen is an adorable book that teaches some basic Spanish using a cute story with absolutely beautiful illustrations by Dina Ashraf Helmi. It teaches the Spanish version of sounds such as an ambulance (la ambulancia) and bells (las campanas). The little girl drawn featured in the book is cute as can be. It's short at 17 pages, but perfect for the intended age group. My only critique would be wishing it had a pronunciation guide at the end of the book for those of us who are Spanish language illiterate. If you have little ones, I highly suggest reading them Esucha Means Listen. It's super cute.
