Every 1st grader in AZ will be given this book,
By A Customer
This review is from: This House is Made of Mud / Esta casa esta hecha de lodo (Reading Rainbow Books) (Multilingual Edition) (Paperback)
The Governor, Janet Napolitano, arranged a deal with private industry in order to give a copy of this book to every 1st grader in AZ public schools. This should speak for itself about the quality of the book.

Spanish is Not grammatically correct!,

This review is from: This House is Made of Mud / Esta casa esta hecha de lodo (Reading Rainbow Books) (Multilingual Edition) (Paperback)
I decided to buy this book after reading all the reviews but once I got it I was so disappointed about the Spanish translation that I am sending it back. I am a native spanish speaking and I was looking for bilingual books to read to my 15m son. This is not what I want for him. I want him to speak a proper spanish and this book's spanish is not perfect. Looks like they were more concerned with a literal translation rather than the meaning . Big disappointment. Otherwise a nice book, with beautiful illustrations.
