Review:
Me and both of my daughters loved this one. We enjoyed the pictures with the vibrant colors. We also like the Spanish lesson in each page of the story. We felt they were easy to pronounce and understand with the meaning in both English and Spanish. I would recommend this book for children to anyone who is trying to teach or help teach their child Spanish or English.
5 thumbs up! Go out and grab yourself a copy!
Escucha Means Listen
From the mowing of the lawn to the splish-splashing of rain puddles, Talia Aikens-Nuñez’s bilingual picture book Escucha Means Listen introduces toddlers and babies to the sweet sounds around them.
Take a journey through the world—just listening. Escucha Means Listen helps children discover sounds around them in English and Spanish.

Author Talia Aikens-Nuñez
Talia Aikens-Nuñez wanted to be a meteorologist, a politician and a lawyer. She never thought she would be a writer. It was the birth of her daughter that caused her to start writing. Raising a bilingual child inspired Talia to write lyrical children’s books. These ‘first experience’ books introduce Spanish to children and parents too! Talia’s family loves nature so much that she and her husband vowed that they will always try to live close to water. She, her husband and daughter live on a river in Connecticut with their daughter Isabella.
