I want to continue learning the Spanish language and found that this children's book helped me and my family alot. I was intimidated by the language, and by starting at this basic level, it opened a new door for me to want to build upon and continue to learn more. By getting down the fundamentals, I am able to go on to more things. My kids are constantly speaking the words out loud and are actually teaching each other and myself Spanish. I am glad that there are books out there like this that I can use, no matter how young the age group, and actually learn.

The Colors and Shapes book is a very useful tool for learning the basics of Spanish. If you want something that is easy to read and understand, this is your book. From reading this book, I think anyone would be able to learn the basic colors and shapes in both English and Spanish. My favorite part was the last page which was a picture of a colorful room full of shapes. This was a good exercise to wrap up the book and apply the words that I learned. A child would be able to use this book, and others like it in the series, to learn and then apply knowledge in every day life when seeing colors and shapes of any kind. This book doesn't just stick to simple shapes such as circle and square, but also includes words for diamond, sphere, and cone.

I recently became interested in toddler and primary age children's books because I am a grandmother. Looking for starter books, it was great to discover this title, and the companion English-Spanish Foundations co-volumes. My grandkids enjoyed the color and layout and definitely learned!

Several members of my family have small children who are just learning to read. I was looking for an english/spanish book that would be fun for them to go through, but would also present information in an easy and understandable way for them. This book was just what I was looking for. If anyone is looking for a great educational gift for little kids be sure to take a look at this!

The book is excellent for learning both shapes and colors. Even if you are just trying to learn English, this would be a good book. This was good for both my 3 and 5 year old. It also held their interest. I highly recommend this book.

This is nice book that actually shows grammar structure (adjectives follow the noun in Spanish) as well as simple words like colors and shapes. Many books cover colors, but few cover shapes, so this is a nice one to pass around in my Spanish classes, along with this author's other titles. I enjoy that they are slick pages, brightly colored and sturdy.

There's no phonetic spelling, though, so if you're not sure about pronunciation, you may need to begin with another curriculum that has a CD or a pronunciation guide. As a supplement, this is great!

I have purchased several Spanish books on Amazon and as always make many of my purchases based on the reviews of those who have gone before me. My daughter is trying to teach my granddaughter how to speak Spanish and she loved this book. Of course she loved sucking on the corners too but it was colorful, well planned out and joyful.

I recieved the books fast. The picture makes it look like its a regular size book, but its not..no wonder it was only 3.95 but then S/H brought it up to around 7.00!
This is a small little flip book for like a 2 year old. Small,about 1 min to read...
