learn some spanish

Spicy Hot Colors is a picture book teaching the names of colors in Spanish. Each color is given a full page spread. The name of the color is mentioned in English and then the spanish word is listed as well. In the back there is a vocabulary list for words that kids might not know the meanings of. Also is a helpful pronunciation guide for the Spanish words that are listed in the book. The illustrations were bright and bold. They went well with the text. I would recommend this book to educators who are teaching basic Spanish. The book was very helpful in home school while learning the names of colors in Spanish

From ballet to books: Sherry Shahan is a dancer/author who in Spicy Hot Colors is passionate about rhythm and here she incorporates the rhythmic elements of Latin American culture into a superbly presented bilingual coverage of colors. Illustrator Paula Barragan creates the colors, while jazzy poetry uses English and Spanish to reveal colors to the very young. A dancing, a haunting presentation for young readers.
