Spanish Books: Vaya Olor and Vaya Lio
Vaya Olor
We’re excited to offer this book for beginning readers to learn Spanish! We looked hard to find books in Spanish that would be a follow on to the typical “point and identify the image or color” to transition into simple Spanish text for early learners regardless of age.
I looked and looked, searching for the “next step reading books” to use when teaching children Spanish. Most first level learn Spanish books or books for teaching toddlers or young children Spanish, show a cat picture with the word “gato.” I wanted something to begin Spanish grammar with simple repetition. All I could find were some classic books converted word for word to Spanish.
They were much too difficult for the “bridge” I was looking for (to cross my child over into the next level).
Then I found this hardcover book! Each page tries to discover, “Where is that smell coming from?” This book has simple Spanish repetition with only a few new words on every page, plus colorful drawings and fold out pages. It makes learning Spanish easy!
What a treasure for teaching children Spanish!
Vaya Lio
This is the companion book to Vaya Olor.
Very simple text makes it easy for your child to learn the similar words and begin to learn Spanish grammar from page to page.
Fold out sections (such as doors and curtains) make it fun to see who is making what smell or what mess.
Repetitive words make beginning reading Spanish fun!

Pescadito
Rosa está aburrida, pero la Abuela está demasiado ocupada para darse cuenta. Está preparando tortillas para el mercado. Sin embargo, cuando un pescadito sale del agua y cae en el regazo de Rosa, eso ya no tiene nada de aburrido. En especial, cuando el pescadito empieza a ser un pescadote.
Esta historia del realismo mágico revive los colores, sabores y emociones de Méjico, revelándoles a los niños que la imaginación no conoce fronteras.
“Rosa is bored. At the beach she observes a clever little fish (Pescadito) who seems just too quick for the hungry pelicans, when suddenly it jumps right into her lap. She takes him home, where he grows with every turn of the page. She cooks ever more elaborate meals for him as he outgrows ever larger vessels. The little fish is about the size of a whale when her grandmother says enough is enough, so Rosa and her friends carry the Pescadito through the town and back to the sea, where he no longer has to fear the pelicans. The children have a party to celebrate his release. The delightful story abounds with elements of Central American culture, such as pan de muerto, Ave María, serapes, ocotillos. Full-color illustrations and large typeface make this book a wonderful addition for schools, libraries, and bookstores.” – Críticas
