These are a great series of well & simply illustrated books that my son absolutely loves. He knows the spanish words before english (we are primarily english speakers) for so many things, and he learns them here first! My husband has also learned quite a few words from the series as well....

Raising a multilingual child is difficult particularly in our mono-lingual culture. It is all too easy to resort to the English default. As a parent I have to make an extra conscious effort to speak Spanish to my daughter and familiarize her ear with the sounds she will hopefully use one day. In this regard bi-lingual books have been essential in helping me to set aside Spanish-time. I have read this series of board books by Rebecca Emberley to my daughter since she was 3-months old and they are still among her favorites at 15 months. These books are ideal for interacting with your baby and toddler in a multilingual fashion. The illustrations are bright and colorful and the pages withstand repeated vigorous turning by little hands. Each page presents a single word in English and Spanish for added comprehension, yet ideal for short attention spans. Thank you for a wonderful series.

If you know how to pronounce the Spanish words correctly, this is a great book for toddlers. I've used it with my Toddler Spanish classes, and even my 4-7 year olds as they are learning to form their own opinions and original sentences in Spanish. I love the simplistic, yet BRIGHT pictures and how wonderfully sturdy the slick pages are.

Use this along with Flip Flop Spanish workbook, and you've got a great combo!

This whole series is useless. Each of the books has words that are translated incorrectly, and/or are plain poor choices (such as selecting items that have different regional names in different Spanish-speaking countries).

In the back cover of all this collection, the word "collect" is translated as "recolecta", which would be equivalent to "gather". The correct word would be "colecciona".

In a book that has about 10 words total, and designed to teach a foreign language, these errors are unforgivable.

These books are awesome. My daughter love them all and the illustrations are bright and attract her attention. We have been exposing her to Spanish as my husband is fluent. I am learning as we read these to her too!

Los animales que aparecen son muy pocos y los más conocidos, como el gato, perro, caballo, etc. Esta demasiado aburrido para niños de 1-2 años.
El libro en sí, es de láminas gruesas y duraderas.

I like goats. They are good people, I mean pets. I mean that they are americans, like sheep. I like to refresh my memory about goats, that is why I bought this book. It helped me remember my fun visit with some little boys and girls where I told them about my pet who was a goat. I liked the story, especially the pictures.
