This review is from: Perro grande... Perro pequeño / Big Dog... Little Dog (Spanish and English Edition) (Paperback)

Unlike a lot of other books that are translated into Spanish, this one doesn't lose much of the rhythm or the fun when translated. It also has the English text along with the Spanish text. My 1 1/2 year old son really enjoys this book, along with the tape recording of his Tio Raul reading it. I highly recommend it!

This review is from: Perro grande... Perro pequeño / Big Dog... Little Dog (Spanish and English Edition) (Paperback)

A wonderful book for begginers at a really cheap price. The pictues show the text really well and just in case there are some misunderstandings about the meaning of the spanish sentenes, the english version is witten right below it. I am teaching my 2-year old spanish along with improving mine, and this book is really helpful. HIghly recommended to all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Opposites Attract, March 19, 2001

This review is from: Perro grande... Perro pequeño / Big Dog... Little Dog (Spanish and English Edition) (Paperback)

This book does an excellent job of exploring the concepts of size, color and opposites using a storyline about two dogs who are very different, but also the best of friends. English text is displayed under the Spanish, making it an excellent choice for a bilingual classroom in the primary grades. ( or for English as a second language learners.)
