This guy is selling dual language books, to children no less, with grammatical errors in them. Whoever wrote the German translation clearly doesn't speak much German. This coming from a native German speaker. So disappointing and wrong.
"Bosley Sees the World" is the only one of the Bosley books so far (other than the first words one which has too few words to have mistakes) which does not have grammatical errors in it. These Errors are so slight that someone not fluent in German wouldn't notice them, but someone who speaks with native German speakers often is quick to see that there are times when the translations are too literal (as in German speakers don't speak like that) and other times when there are glaring incorrect words used (sometimes they aren't even translated).On a whole, the books are BEAUTIFULLY illustrated and the stories are fun for children learning to speak two languages at once. The grammatical errors are easily fixed for someone fluent in the language already.
I bought this book for myself, and find myself reading it over and over again in school and at my house. The story, though short, is quite adorable and will attract the attention of any child. The spelling is perfect; however, I've found small mistakes like apostrophes being turned the wrong way (in one case there is even a single apostrophe in a place where there is no speech) and double exclamation marks and question marks, which isn't proper. Just small things that won't bother a child, but might leave you wondering, "did no one proof-read this before publishing it?"Still, a wonderful books, cute story, nice pictures, and I recommend it to those interested in learning German (though have a basic understanding of easy phrases and simple words). It's extremely helpful that the two languages are right next to each other, too.
This is great for English-German readers or speakers. The story is a little long for a younger beginner reader but it highlights the key words for each paragraph in the story. I will be buying more of these once this one has been mastered by us.
This is an easy, enjoyable, efficient, and natural way to learn or practice German. The story is short and interesting, the drawings are nice, and the pictures render well on the Kindle PC program and the Android Kindle app.
There is no way to increased the size of the print when reading on my Kindle white. It is as if they took a picture of the page and that is it. Doesn't even take all the space up and the monitor window of the Kindle. Will not order children's books with pictures again. I suppose I could get out a magnifying glass...too much bother.
Our six month old son loves the Bosley bear series. The books are very interesting to him, and I love the German and English translations side by side. In the back, there are vocabulary lists, which are helpful. I am learning some new words myself! As a stay-at-home mom, I find it interesting to practice a language and read to my baby at the same time, I feel that it benefits us both!
I bought this book as a way to have a cute short story presented in both German and English side by side (trying to learn German as it's my husband's native language). It was a fun little book and I liked how the key words were highlighted in green on the page to help you connect with and recognize them.
