Hola! Jalapeno (World Snacks Series) (Spanish and English Edition)

I have several Amy Wilson Sanger World Snacks Books (all of which I love), and this one is no exception. The graphics are bright and interesting, allowing me to introduce this book when my son was just a few weeks old. The words are fun and have a great rhythm, which has kept him interested as he gets older. I'm able to play with accents as I read these books aloud. This is one of my son's favorite books (he's now 7 months old). It's also a small and thin board book, so it's easy for him to hold and help turn pages.

i can't write in all caps, but this series of baby books from amy wilson sanger are our absolute favorite. i have all 7, and give them as gifts to lucky friends. so funny, so cute, so creative and a great way to learn about world foods, really. my older daughter likes to read the dessert sections to our baby and we have even experimented with some of the foods. A MUST HAVE FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES!

A simple, but colorful book with some basic words in Spanish. Good for a child 1 - 4 years old to learn Spanish and develop a bilingual ear if parents continue to build upon it.

If you are a foodie and want to share your love of food with you little one these books are perfect. The art is a mix of paper cutouts and found objects and the rhyming story is very cute. You'll be repeating things like "Hola Jalapeno" to your little one with glee! I just wish this author would put out more of this series of books.

My husband and I are having our first child and because of his Mexican heritage we have been calling the baby, our little Jalapeño. When I saw this I had to buy it for our little one. I surprised my husband with it and it was so fun to hear him read it to my belly. I can't wait to read it to our baby.

We just love this book series, my kids have adored these books since they were about a year old. We're now buying a second set for a friend's baby shower. They're a great gift to buy for others as they're a little more unusual and it's unlikely someone else will show up with the same thing. My kids also happily eat almost anything these days and I certainly think it helps that no food was too foreign to them thanks to this series!

I received "My First Book of Sushi" as a gift at my shower, and love it, so I looked for others by this author. I really enjoy this book, as it has a nice cadence/rhymes. And I like that it mixes in some Spanish words and explains them. We also have Chaats and Sweets, and will probably by the Dim Sum book soon. Definitely a good addition to my childs book collection.

Love this book! It’s my favorite book to buy for 0-2 year olds for birthdays and holidays. It’s a wonderful way to learn Spanish and English at a super basic level.

I have to disagree with the reviewer who thought this was a waste of paper. We bought a number of Sanger's books as a way to introduce our child to other food cultures. It hasn't really taken yet but my child is 16 months. So all food is still pretty new. I hope to use these in tandem with restaurant eating and meals at home. We've bought Dim Sum, Yum Yum; First Book of Sushi and Hola Jalapeno and we love them all. In particular the rhymes in Hola Jalapeno were so catchy we found ourselves using them like a nursey rhyme in our day to day life.

A lovely book that introduces children, and adults, to new food. The unique way that it is illustrated also is inspirational for creative projects with your kids.
