My First Spanish Animal Board Book/Mi Primer Libro de Animales Enespanol = My First Spanish Animal Board Book [Spanish]

I got this book for my 15-month-old twins, thinking that I'd like to begin introducing them to Spanish words at the same time they were learning English words. I don't use the Spanish much right now, but it has been a fantastic book for teaching my kids about animals! There is so much variety, so they don't get bored like they do with some other books that have just four or five animals. Both of them can pick out emus, flamingos, starfish, crabs, bison, and a host of other animals that they wouldn't see in most other children's books. It has been great for their creativity too - I have acted out the sound and/or movement for many of these animals, and they, in turn, "read" the book themselves and act out all of these animal noises and movements! I think I would be just as happy with the English version, but why not go ahead and get the bi-lingual version for an extra learning opportunity!?

Es uno de los libros favoritos de mi hija. Lo recomiendo 100%

I agree with the previous reviews that the age range on this is a misleading. This book can be enjoyed as early as you would like to introduce it to your baby or child. It is never to early to start reading to your child! The board book format makes it safe for all ages and both babies and children can appreciate the very high quality photos (with a few illustrations thrown in). For such a small book it contains an amazing amount of information!

My son - 15 months old - can already name some of the animals in English. I think that this book is appropriate for ages one and up. It's a good tool to get your child to use the words he has learned.

I love this bilingual series of books and I hope that DK publishing keeps bringing out more titles. I think, however, that the age range is a bit wrong. I think that this book can be enjoyed as early as 2 years of age, when a child is learning the objects around them. Be sure and check out "My First Spanish Word Board Book" and "My First Spanish Farm Board Book."
