Customer Reviews

Gorgeous
This is a really nice book. I bought it because I speak portugues with my daughter all the time so she can learn to be fluent in 2 languages. Also .... since she is just about to turn 2 and it is almost summer, I wanted her to become more at ease with the idea of swimming.

When I read this book too her she becomes so excited. She laughs and giggles everytime she sees the illustrations on certain pages. The illustrations are very colorful and her attention is glued to the pages while we read. She loves to imitate the motions of the Chameleon and Salamander.

I highly recommend this book... especially if your little one has a bit of concern about water. Another book to check out is Stella, Star of the Sea!!!! (all Stella books are great!)

Just OK
I love the concept, and the effort. But the choice of a chameleon, not a prominent creature in South Asian culture, is a bit puzzling. Add to that the slightly stilted translation - as if run through google translator, rather than something more conversational and appropriate for children.

Wrong Translation!
I am a native Portuguese speaker and I bought this for my daughter so I could read in Portuguese to her. The translation is just wrong in some parts of the text. It seems something that came out of a automatic translator. It's a cute book, but if you plan to read in Portuguese, I wouldn't buy it. Milet Publishing should check their translation better before publishing a book like this.
