This fun little book tells the story of a baby whose mother takes him to the beach. His little world is described in English and Spanish, making this book fun and educational. Overall, my four-year-old and I liked this book. Its illustrations are nice and colorful, but one word of warning - with all of the Spanish words herein, you had better know how to pronounce them. It would have been nice if the author had slipped in phonetic spellings for those of us who do not speak Spanish. But, that said, it was a nice book, and a fun resource.

If you buy this book, be prepared to read it over & over, & over again. My niece *LOVES* this book. She can't get enough of it. I don't know if it's the pictures (which are vibrant & rich in color) or if it's hearing the sounds of Spanish words being read to her, but she adores this book. She's loved it since she was two. She's almost four now & still picks it out of stacks of other books. The Spanish words are nicely woven into the story, and there is a glossary in the back of the book that tells the definition & pronunciation of the words. Regardless of whether or not you're teaching your child Spanish, this book is a lot of fun. And Molly-Breeze definitely recommends it!

I love the way the author incorporates Spanish into a fun story, though I preferred her previous work, "Bebe Goes Shopping". I think learning Spanish is going to be highly relevant for this next generation of kids. This book starts them well on their way.
