This book, about a jumping bean named Panchito, is SO MUCH MORE than just a story! It's also an activities workbook for kids to practice speaking and reading Spanish, and includes such fun things like treasure hunt games, a skit for friends to perform, songs (in Spanish and English) and masks to make! What a fun way to introduce Spanish and a little Mexican culture to children!
