Beautiful presentation, but not for kid less that 4 years, my son is almost 3, we speak Spanish and English at home, so he does, but reviewing the book with him, I noticed that t ideas to introduce the letters to the child are too advanced for his age and skills, example, It shows a page with a Palm tree as main visual image, where will your eyes will go (picture main principles for non professionals), to the tree, the you have to explain to the child that tree or arbol doesn't spell with "I", because happened that the tree is on an island (isla), so the main idea is lost, the attention of the kid at the beginning was trapped for the main picture...this happens in several pages....a cactus tree is the main figure in the letter D page...so you have to explain to the kid that the letter D is for desert, not for tree or cactus, because the cactus in on the desert, the letter N, where the main colors and picture are the eggs and the nest is the same color of the tree, "ñ" for ñame? and I'm almost sure that more than the half of the public here never have seen or eat one of those...Q for Quintuplet? and more difficult "quintillizos" in spanish, W for Washington? sorry, this is ok for kid under 4 or 3, but the book is advertised for ages 1 to 5, the book supposedly is for to practice the alphabet, it should be well made for that and it is not. Disappointed

I got this book for my son who is almost 2 years old. The pictures are cute and it's a very simple book, but some of the words seem odd for a cardboard book meant for such young children. The 'Q' page features the word quintuplets. That just seems like a pointless word for my son to learn in english or spanish right now. There are a few other words that I just skip, but all-in-all the book is cute.

Just purchased the book. Great teaching tool to introduce children to different languages. Bright colorful pictures to go along with the text. They certainly hold the interest of the children. Super idea for bilingual learning. Creative words were used. Bought a few to give as baby gifts.

I bought this for my son because I am trying to teach hm Spanish, he is two years old and he loves this book. The pictures are nice and colorful, but I don't really think he understands all of the words used for each letter. For example, I of Isla, or Q for quintisos. Those are somewhat harder to understand for a toddler, but overall I think this book does a great job at introducing letters.

A is for Airplane/A es para Avion is a children's book that is intended to help kids learn the alphabet. This book includes upper and lower case depiction of each letter on each page, along with an illustration of something that starts with the letter and a caption that quickly expresses what is in the illustration.This book is intended to help kids learn the alphabet and also help them to associate specific letters with certain words. An example is the letter L, and its caption: L is for Lake. To help introduce kids to Spanish, each page offers the same illustration and a Spanish description, like L es para Lago. On the Spanish side, it includes a page for the Spanish letter N with a tilde symbol, but there is no page for Spanish letters CH and LL. I'm not sure why the author did this, but I assume these two letters were left out to avoid confusing youngsters.The illustrations in this book are pretty good and they fulfill their mission well: Getting kids to associate specific letters with specific objects. It is nice that this book mixes up the words with a few different parts of speech. The majority of the illustrations and associated words are nouns, like mommy and telephone. But there are some other parts of speech like karate and red. It would have been nice to have even more, but at least there are a few other types of words. This is an improvement compared to most books that teach kids the alphabet. They typically offer nothing but nouns.I like the artistic illustrations in A is for Airplane/A es para Avion. They are very simple, but still effective. The illustrations feature colors like blue, red, yellow, orange, green, purple and brown. The colors are scattered throughout the illustrations- including in ways that are not realistic, but make them appealing to a child's eyes. For example, the page L is for Lake includes a lake with blue water and some green grass, but the terrain in the background is purple. The purple isn't realistic, but kids will enjoy it nonetheless.Overall, A is for Airplane/A es para Avion is a good, bilingual way to teach kids the alphabet. It is a simple book, but still quite effective at helping kids learn the English alphabet and the Spanish equivalent to each letter along with a Spanish caption to describe the objects at hand. It makes a good choice for introducing toddlers to the alphabet and serves as an effective aid to learning this basic skill.

I was raised bilingual and am trying to do the same with my kids, but they predominantly speak English. I also volunteer teaching Spanish at my son's preschool. This book is an EXCELLENT introduction to the alphabet and simple words. My younger child is not yet 2 and he is just learning his letters. He LOVES this book. He's learning his alphabet in both languages at the same time, and "getting" it. My older child, who is 4, loves this book for the vocabulary. He knows his letters in both languages, but his Spanish vocab is not robust. This book helps him feel successful when he remembers a word and he's old enough now to understand the sounds letters make (in both languages) and then use that as a hint when looking at the picture under the letter and trying to remember the word in Spanish. It's a simple and fun book. We read it so much, I have it memorized. We were on a road trip a few weeks ago and I was able to keep the kids entertained, reciting the book from memory. This will be the book I use at the school to "kick off" the Spanish curriculum.

We are raising our little one in a bilingual household so I was very excited to find these as all members of the house can read to him from it no matter which language they speak. This is for some reason one of his favorite books. He is almost 14 months old now and brings it to us to read to him all the time.
