My four-year-old absolutely loves Paco Puppy. We are constantly listening to the CDs in the car (which also helps my middle and high school-aged children with their Spanish.) Paco is not only giving Jackson a head start learning Spanish -- he has also become a great friend. Jackson recently had his tonsils taken out, and Paco provided comfort before and after surgery! Thank you, Paco Puppy!

"Prior to using Paco Puppy in my classroom, I did not know any Spanish at all. Now, with Paco Puppy and his songs, my fourth-grade students easily take the lead and we are all learning Spanish together."

“When given a choice, Paco Puppy is the first and only CD my kids, ages 6 and 8, will choose to play in the car. They both love to sing along with both the English and the Spanish versions and I was amazed at how quickly they picked up on the Spanish pronunciations. Paco's voice makes it very enjoyable for the kids to learn in a fun, entertaining way. The Paco CD was also a requested gift from my nephew for Christmas after hearing it in our vehicle. It's now become one of his favorites as well.”

“As a private and public school music teacher of 30 years, I find the Paco Puppy materials to be easily ‘digestible’ for students of all ages. Because of the ‘catchy tunes’, almost effortlessly the lyrics are picked up and connections between the two languages are made. These original songs are FUN to sing. The world of language studies has long been in need of this invaluable tool!”

“My kids LOVE Paco Puppy and the CD. Up until about a month ago they loved playing with Paco but weren't totally into the CD. Now we listen to it whenever we are in the car, which is every day almost and they are singing the music even when the CD is not on. THEY LOVE IT!!!! They are counting to 10 in Spanish thanks to Paco. You've done a SUPER job and should be extremely proud of your production. I can't wait until the next CD comes out so let me know when it is released. Thanks for making the CD.”

"The puppet is absolutely lovely, the kids love him, and they ask me to give Paco to them instead of to hold him by myself. They pass Paco along as we sing his songs. The body part of the song is a lot of fun. I used the songs for K-3, and they enjoyed it very much. Thanks for the great material!"

"Using the Paco Puppy puppet and CD in my classroom sparks my students’ interest in learning Spanish. It gives my Hispanic students a chance to shine and initiates conversation in Spanish with Paco guiding the way. They each have a favorite song on the CD. The students beg me to play the CD while they are working."
--Kathrina McGuire,
Teacher, Wisner-Pilger Public Schools, Wisner, NE |

"I’m really impressed with your project! My granddaughter Lauren has been learning Spanish and was singing along, excited about having the whole Paco Puppy set."

“My 3-year-old daughter Tacy learned to count in Spanish in just 3 days while singing along with the CD and Paco Puppy. I took her to a get-together, and while we were there, I asked my daughter to count to 10 for everyone in Spanish. Instead of just reciting the numbers, she sang the song ‘Uno, Dos, Tres’ via the tune on the CD!”

“When Paco Puppy entered our lives, we not only learned new songs to sing in the car, learned how to speak Spanish with very little effort, but we also gained a new friend. My daughter was five years old when I brought Paco home to help solve some pronunciation disagreements we had at our house. Alyssa fell in love with the puppet immediately. He went everywhere with her and was introduced to family and friends alike as our Spanish speaking puppet. Before Paco Puppy, we didn't strive to learn Spanish and now we find it part of our lives. Thank you Paco Puppy!”
--Karen Kugler,
Parent and Business Systems Analyst, Lincoln, NE |

“I like to listen to the Paco CD in the car so that if I ever run into someone who speaks Spanish, I can respond back to them. Paco Puppy is very fun because he is a puppet and you can sing along with him anywhere you go. He is fun to sleep with and I really like the Paco Puppy songs.”
