This review is from: Cinco Monitos Sin Nada que Hacer / Five Little Monkeys With Nothing to Do (Kindle Edition)

I purchased this book for my daughter. She is interested in learning to read in Spanish, and as a Spanish speaking mom I was thrilled with her request. So, I started looking for ebooks in the Spanish language. When I downloaded it to my Kindle device it was only in english. I contacted Kindle support and they told me it will only work on Kindle Touch. I am a proud owner of the Kindle 1st Gen, and will buy the Kindle Fire. I was very dissapointed with Amazon only making these books available for specific devices. Don't waste your time and money buying any ebook in Spanish, they will not work on your device unless you have the Touch.

I've been speaking in Spanish to the little ones (grand-daughters) since they were small and they understand a good bit. These stories --- from a source they love, the 5 Little Monkeys -- definitely appeal to them.

This review is from: Cinco Monitos Sin Nada que Hacer / Five Little Monkeys With Nothing to Do (Board book)

This is a nice English/Spanish book that can be read in either language. It goes beyond the basic color, shapes, etc. for basic Spanish. There are 3-4 sentences for each page; 28 pages or so. The monkey are bored so the Mom has them clean for their Grandma who is coming. The last task is to go pick berries; the monkey's make a mess through the house they just cleaned just before Grandma arrives. It is a nice story that you can talk about with your kids & maybe they won't make a mess in you house =-) Great to get some additional Spanish vocab and make it fun to read.
