¿Eres mi mamá? (Are You My Mother? Spanish Edition)

One of the best translated to Spanish books we own. It flows very well. The translation is almost perfect and both my kids have loved having it read to them hundreds of times. The only wording I would change is on the page where the baby bird falls out of the nest. "..fuera del nido salio y hasta abajo cayo' [instead of "llego'"]" but this minor mistake is easily corrected on the fly while I read. I've read it soooo many times I could probably recite it by heart. Make sure you bounce your baby on your knee a bit when the egg is jumping in the nest and add voices to the animals "...no puedo ser tu mamaaaaa, soy una vaaaaca. Dijo la vaca" [sounding like a cow]. They'll absolutely love that. It is a beauty of a book for preschoolers in both languages. I've been disappointed a few times with poor translations of great children's books, but this one is a winner. A good tip is to search Amazon for translators that have done a good job on books such as this one. Some of them are: Desiree Marquez (this book), Yanitzia Canetti (Yurtle the turtle, Red fish blue fish...), Aida E. Marcuse (Green eggs and ham). The last one I still read to my 2nd grader!

My kids have the original hard cover English book as well as a smaller cardboard one. This cardboard version is a good translation and the graphics are equally good. I read the Spanish one and my girls read the English one together. Great story, too.

This book is very sturdy and the story is timeless. The color of the illustrations are as brilliant as with the original book and the smaller size travels well. A precious story that never gets old.

My grandsons always love when I read them this story in English, Now with the Spanish version, they will relate tot he English version and continue on their learning Spanish journey.

Great book to read

A mi niño le encanta

I purchased this and other children's books to help me learn Spanish. It's too soon to say whether it is helping. Nonetheless, the story is pretty simple and easy to understand.

Funny

Love this book. I purchased it to bring it to Mexico with me where I volunteer at an elementary school. The children loved it!

We love it

This is a great book. Nicely repetitive, to help language development. A sweet story, both of my children have enjoyed it and I'm looking forward to sharing it with my baby number 3.

Historia simpática, a mi hijo de dos años le encanta, siempre pide el cuento del “plonk”

Nice and short. It’s smaller than I thought but it’s okay
