Completely conversational in character, each book contains interesting individual lessons fully illustrated by a well-known artist. Stories are built around an American family's efforts to learn Spanish in association with a Spanish-speaking parrot named Perico. Exercises, puzzles, songs, and review abound to keep students at a high level of motivation. Amusing incidents occur as the American family orders food, stops at a motel, eats on the roadside, and goes to a Mexican market. 64 page 8.5" X 11" Workbook
