The language flows effortlessly in this little book.  Since the birth of my daughter, I have searched for Spanish children's books with language that is clever and natural.  As a native Spanish speaker I have found it difficult to find books that don't sound like text-book Spanish.  This one flows freely and rolls right off the tongue.  It certainly helps that it was originally written in Spanish.  This is a fun book with language that is commonly used, yet will incorporate some new words for those just learning Spanish.  It is simple and easy to read with fun, colorful illustrations.  The only problem is that with only ten pages, it ends too quickly.

I recommend buying this book with the "De colores" CD. It has the lyrics in Spanish and English. It also has the sheet music for piano players.

I love this book! I have many copies in English in my class for our preschool students. But I am very disappointed with the Spanish translation. Many of the words are incorrect Spanish. The translator translated the English word "moving" into the Spanish word "andando" which means walking. This is only one example of the bad translation of this beautiful book. I want to teach my students language correctly, English and Spanish.

My daughter is taking a Spanish Lit course and was going to be reading this book.  I first purchased what I believed to be a good translation but because of the age of the book, there is a lot of vocabulary which is not easily translated.  This edition is very popular with other classmates and I ordered a copy.  She loved it.  It includes many vocabulary hints and explanations, and definitions along-side the text.  Very useful for a student....  (And she tells me it is a fun read as well)

This is written in very simple Spanish making it a great book for the Spanish student. It has pictures of various rain forest animals with a little description about the animal. It has an extra page dedicated to "perezosos" (sloths) explaining how this amazing slow creature protects itself from being eaten by other animals. I'd recommend this book to anyone learning Spanish.

I read this book in English, and liked it so much that I ordered one in Spanish to take to friends in Peru.  Arrived in great condition, and large, easy-to-read print.

A very good translation of the classic, following very closely the Spanish original but clearing up nicely some of the more difficult, esoteric or archaic passages by Cervantes.  The book itself is handsomely bound, and has a rich section of introductory materials.  The book is nicely illustrated as well.

A lovely little book in English and Spanish that shows the wisdom of a grandmother as she shares her childhood treasures with her grandchildren. A wonderful way to learn another language while learning to appreciate what you have. This would be a great book to read to or with children as it could lead to a good discussion.

This book is in Spanish.  An English version is available.

Cute book!  It has a great lesson of learning to say no.  The story is excellent and very effective at conveying a strong moral and safety lesson- that it is ok, even good, sometimes to say NO.  It is a fun book to read; it has some common Spanish tongue twisters to encourage some giggles and laughs.

The art is good and supports the lessons in the book very well.

I was already familiar with this book and was surprised when I happened upon it in the Spanish & English edition.  It's a great book to use with students learning to speak English or those learning Spanish.

This book is comparable to "A thousand Years of Solitude" as it tells the story of a Venezuelan Family through years of history. Beautifully written in Spanish and translated by the best translator of Spanish novels in this country.
I am not sure that many American readers will fully understand and enjoy this book as one has to know the culture and some of the history. It is a book for "the educated" reader.
My students and I studied it at Macalester College when I was a Professor of Latin American Literature. We read it in Spanish and loved it. Later on, I lost my book and ordered it from Amazon. Although the picture showed the book in Spanish, what I got was the English version. If Amazon would ever have a Spanish version I would love to buy it. Ana Teresa is simply a marvelous writer. I've read all her books and would love having them all.  Fabiola Franco, Ph. D
