My daughter absolutely loves this book! I am a Spanish teacher and want my daughter to hear the sounds of the language from early on. This book has the English and Spanish on each page, as well as a fun sliding window with the picture and the English and Spanish words for the animal! My 9-month old LOVES to slide the animals, and my husband is even brushing off his Spanish from high school :)

This was a great purchase!

I don't usually like bilingual English/Spanish books. Although I speak Spanish, I figure most people aren't comfortable reading the Spanish text in bilingual books. That may be the case with this one, but I like the way it's done in this one. Parents can read the English text (one sentence per page, on the left side) and skip the Spanish text if they are not comfortable reading it. Then on the right side there's a sliding panel where parents can read the English then Spanish word for each animal. This is the best part! I can tell my 2-year-old knows I am teaching him a new word each time I say the Spanish version and he repeats it every time. This is definitely a fun, easy read for (parents with) babies through preschool age.

I bought this book for my infant, who loves it.
