This review is from: Albertina Anda Arriba: El Abecedario / Albertina Goes Up: An Alphabet Book (Bilingual Books) (Paperback)
This was a surprise hit with our (then) 8-month-old. Still a favorite at one year. (He turns the pages, I read.) The pictures are very simple but engaging. The example sentences are loaded with the letter being demonstrated- ("Tomas toma te.") and each page includes additional vocabulary ("Can you find..."). He will gladly page through "Albertina..." when he hasn't the patience for "Dr. Seuss's ABC". The 29 letters covered include "ll", "n~" and "rr", as well as "w" which a note explains is not actually needed for Spanish, but used for foriegn words, such as William. Probably works in English too, and the English translation is provided on the right-hand side of each page. I rate it 9 out of 10 because of the simplicity of the art- not stylish, just simple. Paper or felt cut-outs. The text is a 10. Recomended!
