I was simply amazed at how well this book was done.  Each word is depicted using a high-quality, colorful, and eye catching photo and is captioned in both Spanish and English.  This book is excellent for very young children  (and children and adults of all ages) who are learning English and/or  Spanish. It covers everything from parts of the body, to actions (dancing,  etc.), to everyday household things.  I highly recommend this book!

Ever since I heard about Canticos I was determined to get my hands on as much of their products as I could. I want my children to be bilingual in order to speak to my family and these books make it easy in a household where we speak English most of the time. It's a beautiful book and I love the layout of the book. There's a little movable clock in the inside that will make it easy for kids to learn how clocks work.

Love that this book is in English and Spanish! A great tool to use with kiddos who want to learn Spanish. The illustrations are adorable. The extra pages about coyotes and activities to do with kids is a great addition to this book.

I am so thrilled to be reviewing the first bilingual children's story book from a Latina Military Aviator Mom. This book is a first in it's kind.  The story is about a little boy who is intrigued and fascinated to see his Mam in her military uniform.  He begins to ask her questions about her patches, and the conversations flows so naturally. Mam goes on to explain what she does in the military, and explains the symbols of each patch.

I love how this story portrays the love of a  mother to her children, and her passion to her career serving in the U.S. Air Force. I read this book to my 5 yr.old, and he was fascinated.  This book is not only great for military family it is also helpful in explaining to children that women too serve in the military.  What I love the most is that the book is bilingual in both Spanish and English, and written by a Latina Mam! This book is an excellent addition to our bilingual home library.

Yo siempre lloro cuando leo esta historia!  (I always cry when I read this story!)  This simple but moving story of a young boy and his migrant farmworker family is one of my favorites, especially at Christmas.  In spite of their difficult life, the family is thankful for the blessings that they have.  Although they have so little in material possessions, the smallest gifts have great meaning because of the family's love for each other.  The book is bilingual, with English text on one side and Spanish text on the other.  The illustrations are as beautiful and sensitive as the story itself.  Not only is this a marvellous story, but the bilingual text makes it perfect for anyone who is learning either English or Spanish.

I'm so glad to see this book has been published in Spanish. It should be available in every language for every child everywhere.

I've loved every Curious George bilingual book I've gotten so far.  They're engaging for my preschooler and great practice for me to read and speak spanish with her!

I bought this and a few other Luna Rising books for my students in Spanish one and two. The fact that they are bilingual makes them less intimidating. The illustrations are wonderful and they get a sort of mini biography of someone important in Latin American literature. Gabriela Mistral was also a children's and women's rights advocate although that is not heavily covered in the story they do tell you that she traveled the world helping children. I use this and other picture books to facilitate reading and language comprehension while at the same breaking away from the text book.

For native speakers it is not particularly difficult, as it is a children's book, but for non native learners the language used is a bit challenging at times. Which is where the bilingual part comes in really handy. It also helps for the intermediate learners, when illustrating that translation is not always 100% word for word.  Overall this book is great just to read in English or Spanish and as a teaching tool if you are up to the challenge.

I have been going through this book with my son (4 years old) as he starts learning Mandarin. I love this book because it does something that many bilingual English/Mandarin Children's books don't do-- it not only has simplified Chinese characters, but also the proper pinyin with tones and an English romanization for those who are unfamiliar with the pinyin system. Good English/Mandarin bilingual books for children are hard to come by, and both the First Words and First Animals Touch and Feel Books in this series are wonderful!

This is another one of those bilingual books I can't read without having to dab at my eyes remembering my mother reading this story to me.  The graphics are lovely and bring back memories from childhood. I hope you will be fascinated by Ion Creanga and his stories.

This is a great bilingual book to read to an individual child or to a group/classroom. The illustrations are bright, cheery, and easily engage a child to learn about Children's Day/Book Day. Also a great way to incorporate Spanish into a lesson and teach about different cultures altogether. Either way every child who reads this book will now know about Children's Day. I also loved how the author included suggestions on how you can celebrate Children's Day/Book Day and that the main focus is how important books are. Having a "party" for a favorite book can really show young readers about the importance of reading :)

I am a huge fan of bilingual childrens books. I love them for languages that I work with my child to learn or for other languages, just for exposure. A common pitfall for these books is that they fall into two unhelpful categories: flashcard style books that just show vocabulary with pictures or story books showing the story separately in both languages, with no way to intermingle them unless you repeat the story in the other language. If youve ever sought out bilingual English-Chinese childrens books, they usually have the added issue of only having either the characters or the pinyin (and sometimes worse: a third pronunciation form).

Brandon Makes Jio Zi () is one of those rare exceptions that incorporates both pinyin, characters (traditional), and a delightful story. The best part is that the pinyin/character elements are woven into the story, so you aren't just either reading in Chinese or English but all together, like you would if both languages are used in the house. This was such a pleasant surprise that I bought a second copy of the book, so I could keep the first to read with my daughter and still give away the second to a little free library.

The story itself covers familial relations with a loving grandmother and her grandson, the passing of culinary traditions, and also how to be resilient in the face of mistakes. The illustrations are simple, but compliment the story well. The publishing style leaves a lot of blank space on the page, but its not particularly distracting. Looking forward to more books like this from the author.

This is a great resource for bilingual homes. I love that the cd has nursery rhymes on it in addition to the vocabulary, it really helps keep learning fun in the car. I love the flascards so much I laminated them to protect them for years to come. My daughter likes the poster and pointing at the symbols and drawings, it's so nice that we even framed it. Great set for the cost. The vocabulary is very practical as well, it's a good level for my toddler.

I really enjoy this Spanish book. Its the perfect book for Spanish beginners. I also think this book is great to be read to young children, like for bed time stories. This book has actually enabled me to become more fluent in speaking the Spanish language. Really great book.
