Preschool children get an early introduction to a second language when their parents show them books in the charming Bilingual First Books series. These titles are bilingual in English and Spanish, and give toddlers a head start in learning a foreign language at the same time they are learning their own. Charming two-page spreads show color pictures of familiar objects all relating to the book's general theme. The word on the left for parents to read aloud is in English, and the word on the right is its Spanish equivalent. The last page of each book aids parents with a list of all words introduced in the book plus easy pronunciation rules. (Ages 2 and older)
My two year old and I enjoy this book. There are no sentences in this book, only the numbers written out in Spanish and English, one number per page. Each page shows the bears in different activities. I bought the book for my six year old, who is learning Spanish. He is a beginning reader, but is not interested in this book, since it is only the numbers. I would recommend this book for preschoolers.
Great bilingual book for children!

I just got this book for my 14-month old and he absolutely loves it. The illustrations are nicely done and clear. The book shows numbers in both languages and is very easy to follow. He already knows many words in English and Spanish, and I am looking forward to having him learn French, also. It's been a few years since I took French, so the pronunciations for each of the words are very helpful! I wish the publishers made this series in board books.
