My 3 year old son loved reading Boynton's "Opposites" by himself, so when I saw that it was available in Spanish I did not hesitate to purchase it.Although I am happy with "Opuestos" overall, I found that a couple of the words used in the book, were not ones that I would have chosen (for instance, "livianito" for "light"). This is not to say that the word is incorrect, but as I am from a Castillian Spanish background, it would not be my first choice... The only other "negative" is that if you are familiar with the English version, you will question why the Spanish version has chosen the equivalent of "Awake" and "Asleep" in the text, rather than "Day" and "Night" (my son is so familiar with the English version that when we first came to that page in the Spanish version, he immediatedly said, "Day" and "Night" - I had to explain that the picture could be interpreted to mean both things!).Overall I would recommend this book for those people interested in having their preschoolers learn some Spanish.
This is WONDERFUL. I used it after the lesson on adjectives in my four-year-old's Flip Flop Spanish Workbook, and he was SO excited to hear and see the same Spanish words he had just studied, as well as add some new ones.It gave me wonderful ideas of how to make flashcards for the adjectives as well, and the sweet silliness went a long way with my 2 and one year old too! A must!Sra. GoseAuthor of Flip Flop Spanish: Ages 3-5: Level 1 & Flip Flop Spanish: Ages 3-5: Level 2
This little board book is a must for children being raised in Spanish. It is a fun and silly one, with pictures they will love, and it is kind of educational being about opposites. I speak Spanish and my husband English, and our hope and goal is that our children are bilingual, so, having materials from the beginning in both languages is very important for us. This book doesn't feel like "let's grab the spanish book", but more natural like "let's play with this silly book!" and you use Spanish throughout as you would do if it were in any language. Learning two languages must feel natural in both languages, or one will always be 'the one you learnt' versus the natural one. (I am not only hoping for an ideal bilingual family, I have a doctorate in second languages :) and I work at an immersion school... And this is one of my picks!)
I love how these books are written and their fun illustrations.However, the translations don't rhyme like the English version.I understand that this would be very challenging, but it loses its charm. I found the same issue with her "Going to Bed Book".
It sounds really silly in Spanish. The translation is rather bad, it does not rhyme much, not recommendable. It is very much like an unfortunate google translate.
Our niece is of a bi-lingual family so I purchased this spanish version for her birthday. We have slowly been collecting all of Sandra Boynton books for our little ones. They are fun to read. Our family is a big fan.
I bought all the Spanish version books of Sandra Boyton for my daughter, thought the books are good, I feel that translation could be better, as the books don't flow as well as they do in English. Also some of the words are too complex for young children.
I got this for my then 2yr old Granddaughter and we both loved it. As we learned about opposites in Spanish (Opuestos), the pictures were a great help for my little one and she caught on easily. The exaggerated differences also made the opuestos very clear and sometimes really funny so that she stayed interested all the way through!! :)
