Animals/Los Animales [Spanish]

I'm a mother of a 3 year old girl who is bilingual and loves books. This book is one of her favorites, I had given it to differen children as presents. I love this book because it's colorful and helps me teach my daugther the names of the animals in spanish. I also teach spanish to children and I found most of my students like it, parents also like it because it has the phonics of the words, and they don't need to speak spanish in order to read it.

"Los Animales" es un libro especialmente orientado a bebes o niños bien pequeños, que se distingue y sobresale por la claridad y calidad de sus dibujos. Si bien la presentación es sumamente sencilla, sus dibujos son muy coloridos, con figuras bien definidas y atrayentes para los mas pequeños. Permitiéndoles hacer una fácil asociación entre lo que ven y los animales que conoces de la vida real. En cada pagina se presenta un animal con su nombre y fuguran las dos posibilidades femenino/masculino, lo cual permite una mayor participación e imaginación de historias para ser contadas o leidas por ninños. Realmente vale la pena tenerlo en la biblioteca de cualquier pequeño y más si este es un fiel amante de los animales.

I have been looking for books to share with my baby, to ensure she grows up bilingual, and Clare Beaton's series of books have been delightful. Even for a newborn, the bright contrasting colors enchant her, and I can prompt myself with the book's vocabulary.

Very good first Spanish book for my 3 and 5 year olds. The illustrations were good, and the kids had fun learning how to say boy cat, girl cat, etc (in Spanish, of course). I recommend it!

I have purchased several books in this series to work with in a pre-school. The children love them. The illustrations are very well done and the vocabulary is extremely simple - one word to a page. Perfect for the child who has not yet learned to read. Highly recommended if you'd like to introduce your child to french as early as possible.
