In this day and age, it is of great benefit to be bilingual-and it is well-known that young children are master language learners. Is there anything parents can do to begin the multi-language learning process when only one language is spoken in the home?

My Big Book of Spanish Words is one tool to begin children on the road to language learning success. This sturdy, colorful, oversized board book is perfect for combining language study and fun-with cuddle time, too! Toddlers and their caregivers can learn the words for basic colors, food, toys, clothes, animals, things that go, shapes, numbers, and common things around the house.

The illustrations are bright and creative. Each page is arranged to be pleasing to the eye and not overwhelming. It has just the right touch of whimsy and functionality. This isn't like some wordbooks that have so many words on the page that parents shudder to see it coming. Readers can linger over the pages or give it a quick read and move on. Either way, the take-away value is present.

If I have any complaint, it is that parents without a background in Spanish may have difficulty with proper pronunciation, but I still believe that poorly pronouncing "comida" (food) is better that not knowing the word at all!

Armchair Interviews says: Fun way to start your children toward being bi-lingual.

This book is great! Big, thick, sturdy pages! It helps to know the pronunciation of Spanish so you can say it to your kids, but even if you don't, at least it gives them a general idea of how to say the words. I'm sure that's better than nothing. The pages are colorful, and I'm very excited to give this book to my niece for X-mas this year! Heck, this book would be great for ME to learn more Spanish as I know very little. More incentive for me to visit my niece and read her this book while I'm there, however! :) The book ranges from about 5-9 words per page, with 14 pages in the entire book.

very nice book, high quality, colorful. only complaint is that it contains some strange words for learning your first words in spanish. overall I'm glad I bought this book, my toddler loves it.

My little girl is 11 months old and we just started working with Spanish. She loves the book and keeps on coming back to it on her own. It contains all the basic words one would expect in a beginning dictionary like clothing, food, toys and more. We like the colors, pictures, the font used and the content. It is also durable, since it is made from a sturdy and glossy paper stock.

My 2-year old enjoys reading this book. We have a similar one in English, and he likes to compare the same words in English and Spanish.

Purchased this book for my 3 year old who is learning spanish. Excellent book, with great pictures.

One of my daughter's favorite books!! Cheers her up in the carseat!
Has thick, durable pages--great book!
