Customer Reviews

Entertaining education in concepts and language
My several grandchildren have enjoyed this book as I bring it along on my visits. The size and construction are great for their small hands and the bright colors and animation make the learning process fun and appealing. It seems that most children today know at least one Spanish-speaking family and this is a great tool for bringing better understanding of two languages.

Great teaching tool
This book is filled with fun and colorful illustrations and keeps the information simple for little kids. I would recommend it to anyone trying to teach little kids about opposites or learn simple words in english and spanish.

Opposties
This was a really cute children's book. Don't think it is an actual story, but if you are looking for something that will teach simple words in English and Spanish, this is a great book! I especially enjoyed the pictures and use of opposites like "big, small" and "day, night." As always with this series of books, the pronunciation guide in the back was certainly helpful with explaining the words to a child, and even for myself.
