5.0 out of 5 stars Fair price
Popular titles translated into Spanish aren't always easy to find, or the price is too much..........not the case for Roald Dahl's El Gran Gigante Bonachon. Came quickly and in perfect condition too.

This review is from: El gran gigante bonachón (Paperback)
The same book written in english (The BFG by Dahl) is humorous and adventurous. The translation into spanish makes the book difficult to read and sometimes hard to follow. The giant speaks in a different dialect which tends to distract the reader/listener. When this dialect is used in the spanish version the names of the giants are difficult to pronounce. I began reading it to my bilingual third graders aloud in english and then switched to spanish thinking that it would be easier for them to understand and relate to. This wasn't the case. The spanish version is probably a better read for children 10 and up.
