My 9-month old daughter loved the pictures, which shows little babies pointing accurately to the appropriate body parts. She smiled and laughed at them.While the translation for "knees" and "toes" are incorrect (they translates into "piernas"(legs) and "pies"(feet) respectively), I believe that was a purposeful mistranslation so that the words would be easy for a baby or toddler to say and so that those words could fit easily into the song. I use the correct translation for knees and manage to fit the words into the song.You have to admit that saying "dedos de los pies" is much more difficult than simply saying "pies"; and saying "piernas y pies" is easier than saying "rodillas" y "pies".I took off one star because the Spanish translation of knees is just as short as the word they chose to replace it with, and would have correctly matched the images in the book, which clearly depicts babies touching their knees.
For all the people complaining about this not being an exact translation, even the "native" speaker, who I'm guessing is actually a "heritage" speaker, it's a sing-along book!! You try to fit "cabeza, hombros, rodillas, dedos del pie" into the tempo of the song...not so easy. I teach Spanish and even the recordings of this song, in Spanish, that I purchased abroad had these same lyrics.
Piernas is not knees and pies aren't toes. I should have noticed this when I went to order the book but only realised it after the fact. There are several other incorrect translations in this book and the other books aren't any better :(
I'm teaching my granddaughter Spanish and I love this song. However, "piernas" are not "knees," but "legs" and "pies" are not "toes", but "feet". I wish they'd clarify the translation somewhere. I understand why it suits the song better to say "piernas" instead of "rodillas" and "pies" instead of "dedos de los pies." I'd buy this book for ANY baby though. Very cute!
The book is really cute and I think it would be perfect for kids to learn, HOWEVER it has major typos!Knees is translated in Spanish as "Piernas", which actually translates to Legs. The actual translation for the word Knees is RODILLAS. Same with the word Toes, is translated as "Pies", but that word in Spanish actually means Feet. Such a cute book and such a poor translation. Thumbs down!
Who doesn't love: head and shoulders, knees and toes?The book is cute and I know it's going to be fun time between parent and baby. A Spanish speaking parent is going to know that knees are not "piernas" -- they are "rodillas" and toes are not "pies" -- they are "dedos" ... but I get it, we are reading to a baby and some words are easier for now.I feel bad because the parent I am giving this to doesn't speak a word of Spanish and she's going to go around learning "close enough" words.But, I still like the book, so I'll knock one star off.
Great book for young children and a wonderful learning tool. My grand-daughter is eight months old and already understands both languages. These books will help her start reading in both languages as well. The nursery rhyme aspect of these books are awesome as well.
This is a great book for my little ones. They grow up bi-lingual and my husband and I use it in two languages. It works well. My two-year old understands everything in the book in both languages and uses most of the words in there
