Big Kid Reaction: This is an excellent toddler book. The pictures are bright and kids will love pointing to the objects. The format allows for English speakers to learn Spanish, and vice versa.
Pros: Sturdy pages and bright colors engage kids in learning new vocabulary. All of the things they see in the book are things they see every day.
Cons: None.
Borrow or Buy: Buy. If you are introducing Spanish (or English) at home, this is an excellent book. The board-book pages will take lots of wear and tear, and you will see all of the things in the book in the world around you.
Educational Themes: This is a book for learning language. Although billed as a book for children 4 to 8, you can use this with toddlers, too. This has great potential as an ESL book for teachers working with families.
