The tense forms of this book make for an awkward read. There are better simple board books. A better book is Good Night Moon (Buenas Noches Luna).

I didn't realize it wouldn't be exactly the same as the english version of the classic book. It is a board-type book for very young children, and it has many fewer pages so quite a bit of the story is left out.

This is a mini-book...not a regular size book. I guess I did not realize that before purchasing and was quite surprised to reash in and pull out the book...the book is very small and missing more than 60% of the actual story. Disappointing to say the least. The story itself is one my favorites with my daughter, but again, much of it not there.

I purchased this book thinking it would be a good way for my kids and me to pick up some Spanish words. However, I agree with the other reviewers that it is not appropriate for that. While I can't speak to the difficult tense of the verbs, I do know that this version does not follow the English version in a way that would make it easy to directly translate what is going on. The kids still enjoy it, and feel like they're reading Spanish, so it is fun in that regard.

I bought this book for my 9-month-old nephew. He seems to really like it and my sister and I love that he's getting to listen to two different languages, and be able to at least see the words on the page when he hears them.

What do you get when you combine cars, dogs, Spanish and books: A book my two year old loves and I love to read to him. Its a classic in English my only complaint is there are not enough good translations or original books like this to keep our Spanish library stocked with fun interesting titles that I don't have to make up the words for. A must have.

This is a really great book, and my children love it in English. In Spanish, it just doesn't present enough vocabulary, and the verbs are all in the command form, which is a pretty complex tense. I would choose a simpler book for toddlers or young children. If you want to TEACH Spanish, and not just read to them and hope for the best, a good interactive workbook is Flip Flop Spanish, which includes a CD.
