My friend gave us this book and it's our favorite! My son has loved it since he was about 18 months old. The pictures are colorful and there are so many objects to name and count in Spanish. We can spend an hour browsing the pages. It's great for any parent who wants to teach some Spanish to his children. The labels are all in Spanish, just as they should be!

I've just started studying Spanish and been looking for books about its vocabulary. This book is not only good about the word selected but also its beautiful figures. (I guess that all figures are made of cray.) They are excellent! Never get bored! I gave it four-star 'cause I wish each word was written with an articles. (la, le)

This book is awesome! First of all, it is *beautiful*! The art work is amazing - all the illustrations are done in clay, but in a wonderful way I've never seen before. The illustrations are bright, eye catching, and very engaging.

Second, the way the book is done makes it extremely versatile. On your first look through, you can read the names of all the objects pictured. In your subsequent use, you can ask your child to find the objects pictured in the margins in the picture itself. ie: "Donde esta la mariposa?". We use this book not only for learning Spanish, but also for sharpening observation skills [like a "search" book or "I spy" book]. And my child has to know the meaning of the word I'm using [ie: Mariposa] to know what to find in the photo - it makes the whole process extremely interesting to her and she really, really enjoys our Spanish lessons!

I can't recommend this book highly enough!

My daughter just got this book for Christmas. Everyone, including the adults in the family, love it. It puts Spanish words in their context. There is even a glossary in the back that tells you how to pronounce the words. This is a fun way to learn a new language and be able to practice it on a daily basis. Living in L.A., we are always on the lookout for Spanish language books. This one stands out because it has great photos and is reader friendly.
