Eschucha Means Listen by Talia Aikens-Nunez Book Review



Tour Schedule



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.












Excerpt
Buzz. Buzz. Qué oyes? (What do you hear?)
Las abejas (The bees) circling the flowers.

Woosh. Woosh. What do you hear?
El viento (The wind) is whistling by.

Shh. Shh. Qué oyes? (What do you hear?)
Las hojas (The leaves) are dancing on the trees.
                                          My Review:

I was very happy to get a chance to read this book. I enjoyed not only thinking about words in a different language but also associating the words with different sounds. As a Grandmother of 2 children that are being homeschooled I am very happy to tell other parents as well as teachers that this is a great book to read to all children and babies.   I was given this book to read by the author and I Am A Read Not A Writer. All opinions are 100% my own.

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.

A Sort Update on What's Going On!

     Well the holidays are over but next week we have another party. It is Mommy's little sister http://dealsharingaunt.blogspot.com birthday on January 12th. Bobo and Sissy are still learning more and more each day, Sissy has been going to dancing school for a few years now. She came home the other day after class and told us that she has to wear her hair up because it is getting so long. She was really upset because she has been trying to grow long hair like Rapunzel. 
     Bobo and Sissy are getting very good at the computer and the i-pad.  I always thought the day would come when they would want to use the computer but I never thought that we would all be timed, for each of our turns.
     I knew that sooner or later it was going to happen, I was going to start using coupons again. This weekend it some towns there were up to 6 coupon inserts. In our town there were 5! I am not really sure how anyone could pass up these savings. I guess I do have another New Year's Resolution after all.

My One New Year's Resolution

    I find it very hard to believe if not totally unbelievable that another year has past. With every new year people always seem to make resolutions and then break them. So, I have decided not to make any resolution except for one. I am going to be excited about new experiences, follow new ideas and help my family members.  I learned a few years ago that you make each day the best that you can. I would like to wish everyone a safe and healthy New Year. Nana
