I didn't realize it wouldn't be exactly the same as the english version of the classic book. It is a board-type book for very young children, and it has many fewer pages so quite a bit of the story is left out.
This is a mini-book...not a regular size book. I guess I did not realize that before purchasing and was quite surprised to reash in and pull out the book...the book is very small and missing more than 60% of the actual story. Disappointing to say the least. The story itself is one my favorites with my daughter, but again, much of it not there.
This is an abridged version. The story has also been rearranged. The cute encounter between the two dogs about the hat has lost its charm in this version.I thought this would be a good beginning Spanish book because of all of the colors and sizes, prepositions, etc, but this is too short to include all of those simple descriptions.
My son is 20 months old and he absolutely LOVES this book. He'll have me read it to him six times in a row and he still doesn't get tired of it. I think he especially likes the flow of the words and the simplicity of the sounds. I've tried to read other books with more words on the pages and he loses interest, so this is a great book to read at first when kids are getting used to hearing written words out loud. It's also very durable!
The tense forms of this book make for an awkward read. There are better simple board books. A better book is Good Night Moon (Buenas Noches Luna).
Great book. My son loves the English version and so we picked this up for him in Spanish. The translation is acceptable. One caveat - book is SMALL. His other book is a big board book put this is little, fits into my palm.
I feel ripped off! This is NOT a Spanish translation of the English version. It is about 20% of the length of the English book. It is VERY VERY VERY short. I had this sent to my Kindle and was excited to read it to my 3 year old as she loves the English version. So very disappointing! If I could return it, I would! If you want a handful of translated pages, then go for it but if you wanted a full translated version or even half or even 3/4, then beware. Grrr! I hate being ripped off!
I purchased this book thinking it would be a good way for my kids and me to pick up some Spanish words. However, I agree with the other reviewers that it is not appropriate for that. While I can't speak to the difficult tense of the verbs, I do know that this version does not follow the English version in a way that would make it easy to directly translate what is going on. The kids still enjoy it, and feel like they're reading Spanish, so it is fun in that regard.
