The Spanish is used
in such a way that one can readily understand it by context clues.
In addition to that understanding, there is a glossary and
pronunciation guide at the end.
This book could be a
good addition to any home library of parents who want to help their
children learn Spanish in a fun and accessible way. I would like to
have it for my homeschool library for just this very reason!
The action of the
story is something most parents will probably find familiar: looking
for a bathroom for their little one. “Didn't you ask her she had
to go?” one parent says to the other, “No, didn't you?” the
other says. What two parents haven't made the same flub and then had
to rush around looking for a restroom for their toddler? Well, my
husband and I have… at least a few times!
My children enjoyed
this book. They didn't necessarily understand all of the Spanish,
but there wasn't too much to be off-putting.
Illustrations should
support and expand upon the text in children's picture books. I felt
like G. Brian Karas did a good job in Oh No, Gotta Go!
Showing places and using Spanish words as additional support for
understanding those words within the illustrations.
Oh No, Gotta Go!
By Susan Middleton Elya is an all around good book. I definitely
recommend it for any family.
Have you read Oh
No, Gotta Go!? What do you think about it?
