Las aventuras de Isabela

2nd Edition

Isabela Huffman is a precocious 8-year-old girl who can't seem to keep herself out of trouble on a visit to Guanajuato, Mexico, with her mother. She wants to be the president when she grows up. Or a ballerina. Or the president and a ballerina. She's dramatic. She sings on the bus, screams like a baby after putting chile powder on her fresh mango and convinces her mom to buy five pair of new shoes for a big family. No matter how many times her mom asks her to just sit down like a normal little girl, she just can't help getting up to take more pictures of her adventures. When will Isabela ever sit down?

Las aventuras de Isabela is the first novel in a new series for true beginners. It uses a vocabulary of only 200 Spanish words to tell a 2,200-word story. It is repetitive and simple and uses many cognates to make the book comprehensible to beginning adults and children.

My 7th grader had to get this for her Spanish class at school. I love that her teacher is teaching in a useful way, not just conjugating verbs.

What a great little book! I'm self-teaching myself Spanish, and only about half way through a basic Spanish book. I needed something to read that used simple vocabulary "in context" instead of in lesson format, and this fit the bill nicely. The plot was meant for children, but this 60 something grandma thought it was fun to read.
