4.0 out of 5 stars A good book to read to your child, February 19, 2000

By 

Mountain Climber (Anchorage, Alaska, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Agua Agua Agua (Hardcover)

This is a Spanish version of Aesop's fable about the raven who is thirsty but can't reach the water that he seeks. He learns to drop pebbles into a crack until the water level rises and he can drink. It's a charming story that is told with bold & attractive illustrations. The Spanish is very simple & easy to understand, & my child loves it.

2.0 out of 5 stars This is NOT a Spanish book, May 30, 2002

By 

Lady "lady-in-nj" (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Agua Agua Agua (Hardcover)

Be very careful ordering - check the ISBN. The Spanish translation is ISBN 0-673-36292-2. The English easy reader with just a *few* words of Spanish (un, dos, tres, si) is ISBN 0-673-36195-0. Quite simple - except for "mountain" on the 2nd page. ...The same reviews are used for both books. I do not know how to ensure you get the one you want.

4.0 out of 5 stars great book to read to bilingual infant, June 7, 2002

This review is from: Agua Agua Agua (Hardcover)

My 5 mos old son loves when I read this book to him. It has a rhythmic, musical sound and the colors are bright. It is not intended for little babies so watch out for the corners of the book when baby tries to eat it.
