Looking for some type of curriculum to teach my 3 and 5 year old spanish I came across this book. It is ABSOLUTELY wonderful. It is actually a nicer story than the original goldilocks and the 3 bears... has a bit of humor and a very nice ending. a must for any family. It is also great because you can read it in english or in spanish...it's like 2 books in one.

Jerry Tello, (who is a wonderful motivational speaker for students and adults) has written a classic children's tale with some very humorous changes. It is a story within a story. I've read it in 1st-3rd classrooms and the students LOVE IT! And it can be read in English, then in Spanish by simply turning the book upside-down. The illustrations are also great! Makes a good gift.

A nicely writen story. The most adorable of all the story is the relationship between the grandfather and his grandchild. The later doubting his grandfather's tale both with love and respect. The Spanish is simple and clear. Both adult and children will smile with delight to this lovely book. Do not expect nice illustrations for the drawings are quite simple and where it is obviously not the goal of this book.

This is a Must have. They story is a Latin twist to "The Three Little Bears". A grandfather telling the story to his grandson. They illistrations are great too. Instead of porridge the Little Bears eat Frijoles (Beans). You read the book in English on one side and flip the book and read it in Spanish. Its a great story and the Spanish is everyday Spanish. At this price buy one for every little one you know.

Abuelo y los tres osos es un cuentito que le cuenta Abuelo a su nieto para pasar el tiempo. Abuelo en su cuento exagera un poco los acontecimientos del cuento famoso de Trencitas de Oro y los Tres Osos. Hay partes que hacen gracia y es un libro genial para los niños. Es bilingüe - en español de un lado y en inglés del otro.

My children love this book - The pictures are wonderful, and I like how one side reads upside-down - you meet in the middle. My four year old said, "Just like my Spanish workbook!" (We use Flip Flop Spanish curriculum)

Some of the vocabulary they picked up on the first time through in Spanish was frijoles, broma, cocina, blanda, and bosque (beans, joke, kitchen, soft, and forest) - I know they'll continue to grab more phrases and words since they already know all the family and animal names from the Flip Flop book. Great buy! What a bargain!

I like this book mainly for the way its designed. One one side its in spanish only, then on the flip side you can read in english. Its great to read and understand what it's saying (because its an unusual story) and then try understanding in spanish or vise versa.

The Spanish version (book contains both English & Spanish) was too advanced to read all the way through and maintain my 4-year-old daughter's attention - one who enjoys listening to very simple/easy books in Spanish at this point. However, the English side introduces a few Spanish words and even has a glossary for them at the end. I think this will create a good inroad for reading it in Spanish eventually. My daughter loved the story which brings together the familiar tale of Goldilocks, but with interesting deviations (black braids instead of golden locks, beans instead of porridge, and a prior friendly relationship rather than the meeting of strangers).

El cuento es bastante agradable. A mi hijito de 3 a~os le gusta... Sin embargo, como comparte historias simultaneas, opte por leerle solo el relato de los osos, sin comparir la conversacion del abuelo y Emilio. Me parece mas facil de seguir para mi nino... Pero es bonito cuento.

Great book! Even had translation, although, in the back or upside down or something (Kind of annoying to flip through, but , read it, study it, remember it, for the child.) super fun times!
