Engaging Bilingual Book
I purchased this book for my 16 month old son who is learning Spanish as a second language. I am learning with him, so I cannot speak to the accuracy of the translation.What I like:- > 26 flaps (cover says >55 flaps)- broad selection of words to expand a child's English and Spanish vocabulary, e.g., animals, fruits, vegetables' other everyday items that a child may encounter and "exotic" items like wand, wig, ukulele, urn and zither.- each two page spread has a theme, e.g. neighborhood, outdoors, kitchen, country fair, city market,- not just words, but also phrases and sentences in both languages, e.g., "I enjoy wiggling my ears" / "Me gusta mover mis orejas", "Vegetables are full of vitamins" /"Los vegetales estan llenos de vitaminas"' "Yum! / Rico!"- large size- not just Elmo; all characters are represented even the classic ones like Big Bird, Bert and Ernie! (My son has only watched a handful of Sesame Street clips on YouTube, so he does not get excited about this book...yet. He will enjoy this book in a few months when he gets more screen time.)What I don't like:Many words do not begin with the same letter in English and Spanish which may be confusing for a child. I suspect that the English version was simply translated to Spanish without any adaptations. For example, the "K" words on the kitchen pages are kitchen/cocina, key/llave, knife/cuchillo, kitten/gatito and kiwi/kiwi. (See attached photo.)

Just right
Elmo is a grand daughter's favorite. She's in a bilingual day care and the Spanish-English alphabet book was a big hit.

Yes it's an English/Spanish ABC book but...
My 2 year old is interested in identifying letters and numbers. I was very excited to find a bilingual sesame street book, but was disappointed in this one. As an ABC book is good. It's got a ton of flaps and I think I saw 3 different toddlers enjoy this book at his Birthday Party.A bilingual ABC can be done, but simply translating a book originally written in English won't work in this case because not all Spanish word match the letter illustrated. For example, words that begin with A in this book: awning (toldo); alligator (caimán); asparagus (espárrago); apples (manzanas); apricots (albaricoque); artichoke (alcachofa). A book like this should be thought in a bilingual way as it's written.If you are looking for a bilingual ABC book, so far I like A is for Airplane (A es para Avión) by Theresa Howell. If you know other good bilingual ABC books, by all means reply to the review and let me know, because I'm looking for them.
