As a native Spanish speaker, it is very important for me that my son learn Spanish. My son loves all of the books in this series, but this one causes me a few problems. Part of the problem is the Spanish words used (which is an issue for my dialect). For example, "bananas" is translated as "las bananas" instead of "los platanos" and peas are translated as "las guisantes" instead of "los chicharros" and "broccolli" is "el brecol" instead of "el broculi" (sorry my keyboard is not set to do accents). The other issue is some of the foods selected. For example, "soup" is one of the foods, but it is hard to draw in a way that children really understand that is is soup. "Radish" is anothert choice, but since it is such an uncommon vegetable, I am not sure why she didn't use someting like a potato or a bell pepper, which are more common. So, I would recommend this book, but be prepared to change some of the words around using your computer, printer, and some glue.
This brightly colored book is great to use as an addition to a Spanish curriculum like the workbook Flip Flop Spanish. The sturdy pages continue to wow my classes of ages 3 all the way to 12 years old. If you'd like to introduce your child to Spanish, I might choose an animal, colors, or shapes book before this one.The changes in words based on region, as another reviewer stated, are hard to get around - the problems she had with the words are less common where we live - so I think it's great to know ANY word when you're trying to introduce a second language to your child. It's a big endeavor, and this book helps!
These Rebecca Emberley books are wonderful. They are simply laid out with both English and Spanish. The illustrations are very clever paper creations of the vocabulary words displayed on each page. I hope to own each book of this series eventually.
These books are awesome. My daughter love them all and the illustrations are bright and attract her attention. We have been exposing her to Spanish as my husband is fluent. I am learning as we read these to her too!
This is a good book for families trying to teach their kids another language but for a native speaker like myself it just didn't work for me. The illustrations are mediocre and I would've like to see other types of food (more fruits or veggies).
I wanted to introduce Spanish to my infant son so I bought this and "Mi Ropa/My Clothes" by the same author. I like this one the best. Both have very simple pictures labeled with the English and Spanish word. My son is 5 months old and seems to enjoy the pictures.
Excellent reading and learning book. I bought one book at a local department store and was so impressed that I had to get all other books shown on the back.
