5.0 out of 5 stars Great fun whether you read it in English or Spanish, November 1, 1998
This review is from: I Want My Banana! / ¡Quiero mi plátano! (Spanish and English Edition) (Hardcover)
A delightful way to read a story in English and learn Spanish at the same time (process also works in reverse). Monkey only wants a banana and refuses all other fruit jungle animals offer him. Children and adults can identifly with this single mindedness. All ages will love the simple words, rhymes and delightful pictures.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good beginning for language acquisition, February 23, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: I Want My Banana! / ¡Quiero mi plátano! (Spanish and English Edition) (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my children, who I am raising bilingually. This book is very simple, but the illustrations make the story very clear. The only improvement in my opinion would be to get rid of the English translation on each page. My reasoning for this is that if someone else reads your child the book in English, your child very well may request it in English (or, "plain," as my oldest calls it, lol) every subsequent time you pull the book out. At the back of the book, there is a glossary of the words used, which includes illustrations and pronunciation help for non-Spanish speakers.
