Newest Titles! Spanish Books for Kids

Curling up with your child and reading together is wonderful in so many ways. Reading books to kids allows them to hear language rhythm, sounds, and vocabulary so that they can begin to pick up on language. It aids enunciation and teaches children to mimic the sounds they are hearing and associate words with pictures.  Add to their education by reading to them in Spanish so they can become bilingual from an early age.

Spanish books for kids will help their imagination come alive as they listen to a new language—and hear new perspectives of the author who may be from a different culture. This broadens your horizon, as well as your child’s. Join the millions of Spanish-speakers who have journeyed on a literary and cultural journey that only a good book can provide.
