Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-This attractive set of Spanish-English books will help to fill a gap in board-book collections. The books feature one or two words per language per page along with a cut-paper collage in bright colors. The simplified pictures with sharply contrasting colors are ideal for infant and toddler audiences. The quality of the reproductions is excellent, making the layers of different color paper visible and adding to the collages' texture and depth. Fine choices for the youngest patrons.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Nice book but with errors,
By Robert Harding (Mobile, Alabama) - See all my reviews
This review is from: My Opposites/ Mis Opuestos (Board book)
All the other books I've seen in this series have had Spanish-language error, but this one has the most, which I believe is due to the difficulty in trying to translate one-word prepositions in English into Spanish, which frequently require entire phrases. For example, for 'under' she has 'bajo'. In fact in Spanish one would have to say 'debajo' or 'abajo' (depending on whether you meant 'underneath' or 'movement under' something). Same thing goes for 'up' and 'down' (her translations are wrong.Like the other books in this series, she seems for be using a Spanish-English dictionary and has little fluency in Spanish herself.

This review is from: My Opposites/ Mis Opuestos (Board book)
These books are awesome. My daughter love them all and the illustrations are bright and attract her attention. We have been exposing her to Spanish as my husband is fluent. I am learning as we read these to her too!

This was one of the first books my baby fell in love with. I like the book but my daughter loved it around 6 - 18 months.
