Great for ages 7 & up! The best thing is the phonetic spelling listed with each phrase or word. No grammar, no real in-depth Spanish rules or anything like that, but enough on each topic to actually give students a chance to communicate when they can't think of what to say! My High school students down to my 8 year olds all have enjoyed this book in and out of class.There's no place to write in it or do any work, which is again pleasing to the student - it's portrayed as "Don't let the adults catch you reading this!" . "Spanish that kids really do speak" according to A Customer. I stumbled across this book this summer and plan to use it in my 7th & 8th grade beginning Spanish classes during the year. The title page states that it's the Spanish that kids really speak and I agree. The book is set up simply with illustrations that appeal to middle level learners and includes pronunciation examples that are easy to use. (The biggest fear in my students is pronouncing something wrong.) The categories and phrases are of great interest to the age group the book is targeted to.. Not appropriate for kids under 1Not appropriate for kids under 14 Susel E. Gonzalez While this is a very funny book, it is really NOT appropriate for young children. In addition to having a section devoted to rude comments, such as how to call someone "an idiot" in Spanish, it is also not always very accurate in its translations and information provided. It would also perhaps be a better learning tool if the authors had made a note as to which countries particular slang phrases are used. I saw some phrases that are only used in Mexico, some that are only used in Costa Rica, etc. While this is a very funny book, it is really NOT appropriate for young children.
