Great introductory vocabulary and contrast of opposites...

2007-10-13
This book is rife with introductory vocabulary: up/down green/red long/short fast/slow which makes it great for preschoolers attempting Spanish as a second language. I like the way it USES opposites (and similarities) without just stating them as many introductory books do. The Spanish flows easily and the only odd/idiomatic dialogue in the book would have to be the "The bird's got the word" near the end. If you aren't convinced this is a good bilingual book, try the look inside function, and hit "surprise me" a number of times!

Just what I was looking for!

I have 2 kids, one is[...] and is learning to read, and the other is [..] and already is reading well, but they both LOVE it. It's easy enough for my [...]because the pictures make her guess what it's all about and then she reads it, and it's good for my [..] to learn too.

Muy divertido.

A mi hija le encanta este libro. Hace que se lo lea una y otra vez. La traducción es bastante buena.

Great dual language book to help teach opposites

I like this book, because when I read it aloud to my Spanish classes, I know the students sitting closest to me are most likely following the English with their eyes, and learning new vocabulary words because of it.

The pictures are vibrant, and for a translated text, the story flows well. Great way to introduce adjectives to students of various ages, or to build on another Spanish workbook curriculum.

Nice bilingual book for the price

Cute little story about a big dog and a little dog who like opposite things. It's pretty obvious that the Spanish was translated from English (as opposed to being originally written in Spanish), but with that said the Spanish seems well translated. Good book for the price.

Love it!

I read this to my 4-year-old daughter only in Spanish the first few times and she LOVED it. The pictures and ideas convey the meaning of, (what is to her), a foreign language so well! As a barely-fluent speaker myself, the book introduced a few new fun vocabulary words. The context of the story very clearly depicted for her the meanings of the words "despacio" and "deprisa" which quickly turned into a game of running around the house in each of the two manners. Once she realized that the little words underneath were in English, she refused to hear the story in Spanish, but with patience on my part, that has changed slightly :0) The story is just plain really cute, too.

Excellent bilingual book

I know a handful of Spanish vocabulary and wanted to expose my infant son to the sounds and cadence of the language. This is a fun book although if you're a Spanish novice, some of the word tenses are a little tough to sound out. It is paperback though - I was hoping for a board book so he could turn the pages while we read. He loves it anyway.

This book is fun and easy to read!!!!!
