Nice little book,

This review is from: Brian Wildsmith's Quantos Animais Sao? (Portuguese edition) (Board book)
Just to clarify, the first reviewer is mistaken. There is no grammar in this book (and therefore no grammar mistakes) and the translations are good. The book has 10 different painting of groups of animals (1 monkey, 2 deer, 3 [large] mice, etc.). Each painting has the arabic numeral (the numbers are never spelled out) and the name of the animal (e.g. 1 Macaco, 2 Cervos, 3 Ratões, etc.). That's it.
I ordered it hoping to use it in a middle school Portuguese class that I am teaching, but the book itself is VERY small (I did not look at the dimensions listed here on amazon.com--check them out), and some of the pictures are a little hard to make out at a distance (one of the mice is hidden pretty well). It would be great for a toddler learning to count in Portuguese, however. According to the back cover of the book, this is exactly what it is intended for (I am giving it 5 stars because it does exactly what it says it will). Overall, a nice little book, just not what I needed. Hope this helps! :) ps - Also, I was just a little disappointed that the beavers and squirrels on the front cover (which is what convinced me to buy it--they are very cute) do not show up in the book at all. There are some very cute foxes, however. :)

I am trying to teach Portuguese to my kids and they were not too crazy about this book. The graphics are too busy for the little ones.

On my granddaughter's birthday I wanted the perfect gift. Her mother is from Brazil and speaks to her in Portugese. Don't know who was more thrilled with the gift - her mother or her. Great to be able to find something unusual quickly and easily. Amazon is a great company to do business with.
