Summary: Wonderful for Toddlers
Review: First Thousand Words in Spanish is an enjoyable book with playful, colorful illustrations. We are a bilingual household and so this is a great way to share Spanish with our child (2 1/2 yrs old) and have fun in the process. There are so many details in the pictures that you can read it over and over. This would be a great gift for a bilingual household for a child one and older.

Review: There are pictures with the corresponding Spanish definition but the literal English translation is not included. I find this to be a bit challenging for some of the items as there can be multiple English words referring to a single object and without the exact English translation you aren't sure. For example, there is a picture of a 3 drawer dresser defined as comoda. In English this could be nightstand, dresser, bureau... Also some of the pictures are difficult to distinguish. One page has a picture of a sheet and of a pillow and they look almost identical.

Summary: Fun, Friendly, and Factual
Review: Tired of boring and bland spanish tools? This book is bursting with vivid, whimsical, illustrations depicting everyday life with humor and clarity that will attract even beginning adult students. The apealing story type pictures not only define spanish words, but they also promote spanish interaction between reader and child or student with student. On "la cocina" page, a father washes dises amidst a swirling pandemonium of dropping dishes, spilt juice, and a todler with a pot on his head. A teacher or parent could easily springboard off of this illustration to begin to form whole sentences based on the action in the picture. This intriguing book is sure to be a winner with you and children alike.
