Billy in Spanish! Plus, Discount Offer ...
For those of you with young children, and an interest in learning Spanish, check out the new "Professor Pocket" adventure CD—Billy makes a special guest appearance as a bilingual surfer dude named the Big Kahuna (el Gran Kahuna)…!

Our Hawaiian Hula Adventure has a fun bilingual storyline, six original songs, and a remake of the popular Latin American folk song, "Sana, Sana." This CD is sure to get the whole family singing and speaking along in Spanish. The companion booklet includes song translations and key vocabulary words. It's great!

More About Professor Pocket:
"Professor Pocket" is a family-owned company created to help children develop a lifelong passion for learning languages. They produce entertaining and engaging bilingual products that children and adults can enjoy together, whether new to the Spanish language or completely fluent.

As multicultural families themselves, the producers of the "Professor Pocket" series design products based on first-hand experiences growing up and raising children in bilingual homes. Lovable characters, silly stories, and catchy songs get kids both young and old laughing and participating.

Billy had an awesome time recording with the Professor Pocket team, and we now have it as part of the office playlist!
