My 3 year old asks me to read this over and over again. He loves to here the voices of the respective bears Mama, Papa or Baby bear. It is concisely written and easy for someone with a moderate understanding of Spanish to read. My only criticism is that part of the translation is incorrect. "High" is translated as "dura". and "low" is translated as "blanda". These translations are both incorrect.

I just read a review of this book saying that "high" was incorrectly translated to "dura" and "low" to "blanda". I have this book and noticed that the author does not use high and low to describe the chairs in English but uses "hard" and "soft", which are translated correctly to Spanish using the adjectives "dura" and "blanda".

This book retells the classic story with few differences from the classic story many of us grew up with. The illustrations are a little boring and don't stand out.

My toddler loves reading "Ricitos de Oro," and now "reads" it to herself using the different voices of the bears. The translation isn't perfect, but it is a nice simple story. As she is getting older, she is curious to hear the story in English and Spanish, so it is nice to have both versions on the same page.
