"This is such a great idea (and I'll be using it in my classrooms!) and I can see this being something that I would go to again and again as a child... In terms of getting kids excited about learning a language? This book and the accompanying site do the job. It's the type of book that, as a small child, *I* would have "read" over and over again. It's fun and appealing to look at and if kids are interested in learning a language (there are Spanish and English-language version of the book and site also), it's a great way to hook them."--Eat Live Travel Write
