Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This series of bilingual board books has received the Benjamin Franklin Award from the Publishers Marketing Association. The sturdy binding, chunky size and stiff board pages coupled with the bright colors of the illustrations make these books very appealing to the younger set. Colors and Shapes features illustrations of multicultural children holding up outsized shapes in different colors (e.g., red circle, yellow square, blue oval, etc.). The English words appear in the top left-hand corner, while the Spanish words appear in the bottom left-hand corner. The final page depicts a busy classroom scene and invites readers to identify shapes and colors from the scene. The Alphabet features illustrations of toys, musical instruments, and other commonplace items in bright cheerful colors. Each page showcases a letter of the Spanish alphabet (? and ll included). The author has chosen items that begin with the same letter in both languages (e.g., airplane/ avion, flower/ flor, juice/ jugo). The use of exotic creatures native to South and Central America such as the ?andu and the quetzal give this book a uniquely Latin flavor. Numbers also uses wonderful illustrations of exotic animals, from the iguana on page one to two toucans, three turtles, four frogs, etc. All the numbers, one through 10, are assembled at the end, and readers are invited to repeat their names in both languages. The final pages list the numbers up to 20 with both their English and Spanish names. This well executed series belongs in all public and school libraries serving a very young Hispanic clientele. Also appropriate for book-stores. M.O.B.

5.0 out of 5 stars Numbers, August 8, 2006

By 

Jo March - See all my reviews

This review is from: Numbers 1 2 3 / Los números 1 2 3 (English and Spanish Foundations Series) (Book #2) (Bilingual) (Board Book) (English and Spanish Edition) (Board book)

As a child, the Spanish language was not something that I was familiar with. Even so, I still knew how to count up to 10 and found excitement in my ability to repeat the numbers to my friends. This "Numbers" book is a terrific tool to use to learn Spanish numbers. The pictures of animals increase as the numbers do and is a great way for children to remember the numbers as associated with a specific animal. The board feature of the book has allowed it to last even after my paperback books have fallen apart. I would recommend this book to anyone who desires to learn how to count in both Spanish and English.

Bought this book recently to help re-inforce my two and a half year olds spanish classes (my family is spanish and would like to give her the exposure to the language). She now counts to 10 all by herself and wants to read this book every night before bed. There is no story in this book, but simply the numbers, with the amount of animals in both English and Spanish almost like flash cards. I like a book better because my daughter likes to throw flash cards all over the place!
