Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
This paper-over-board, Pull-the-Tab Language Book consists of five spreads featuring words describing things and people encountered on a farm, at a store, in a park, in a town and at home. In each case, a busy, full-page picture faces 20 spot illustrations of labeled objects found in the scene. When one pulls a tab, the English word for each object gives way to the Spanish word. Though the clever concept is helpful, the instructions--using the same wording on each spread--become needlessly repetitive: "See how many things there are in the picture that you can name in English and Spanish. Pull the tab to change languages." This aside, the volume offers a solid introduction to a second language for both English- and Spanish-speaking youngsters. A useful pronunciation guide (to the Spanish words only) is included. Ages 2-8.

From School Library Journal
Grade 1-4-- A picture dictionary with an accessible, attractive format. Busy, watercolor paintings of familiar places such as a farm, a store, a park, a town, and a home are presented. On the facing pages, elements of the scene are isolated; beneath each, the name of the object, person, or animal is given in clear, large type. When one pulls the tab, the Spanish equivalents slide into sight. The illustrations are simple, clean, and bright. There are some errors in the Spanish. A picture of a police officer is labelled ``policemen,'' and the Spanish term given is `` el guardia '' instead of the more precise term, la policia. Refrigerator is translated as `` nevera '' (literally, an icehouse). The word for boy is given as ``el nino'' rather than el nino. The pronunciation guide is not accurate, giving phonetic spellings that result in slight mispronunciations. These are not major problems, and there is a use for the volume in ESL programs where native speakers could be shown the pictures with the Spanish words tabbed down and asked to supply English equivalents, most of which are more accurate. In a sense, the book supplies a charming set of flash cards. --Ann Welton, Thomas Academy, Kent, WA

An introductory book to Spanish.,
By A Customer
This review is from: My First 100 Words in Spanish/English (My First 100 Words Pull-Tab Book) (Hardcover)
There are 5 locations (farm, store, park, town, and home) fromwhich 20 words are translated from English to Spanish by the pull of atab. I was disappointed that the basic words like colors or body parts were not chosen as part of the 100 words. On the left side of each page is a full picture of the location; on the right side is the 20 words with a picture of each directly above the written word. The individual pictures do not directly match the same object on the opposite page; often the object is flipped or is seen from a different angle. I did appreciate the back two pages which gave a summary of all the words listed, including the English word, the Spanish word, and the Spanish pronunciation. I also liked the sturdy tabs which seem like they will last a long time.

This review is from: My First 100 Words in Spanish/English (My First 100 Words Pull-Tab Book) (Hardcover)
I am a spanish teacher and I strongly recommnend this book for beginners students (K-2nd grade). It is very interesting for the child to see the object in English and then pull the tab and find the word in spanish. The prononunciation guide is very helpful.
