Learning a foreign language has never been this much fun! Just pull the sturdy tabs and change the words under the pictures from English to Spanish and back again to English!

Beginning with Modern Times (1985), Paul Johnson's books are acknowledged masterpieces of historical analysis. He is a regular columnist for Forbes and The Spectator, and his work has also appeared in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and many other publications.
Grade 1-4-- A picture dictionary with an accessible, attractive format. Busy, watercolor paintings of familiar places such as a farm, a store, a park, a town, and a home are presented. On the facing pages, elements of the scene are isolated; beneath each, the name of the object, person, or animal is given in clear, large type. When one pulls the tab, the Spanish equivalents slide into sight. The illustrations are simple, clean, and bright. There are some errors in the Spanish. A picture of a police officer is labelled ``policemen,'' and the Spanish term given is `` el guardia '' instead of the more precise term, la policia. Refrigerator is translated as `` nevera '' (literally, an icehouse). The word for boy is given as ``el nino'' rather than el nino. The pronunciation guide is not accurate, giving phonetic spellings that result in slight mispronunciations. These are not major problems, and there is a use for the volume in ESL programs where native speakers could be shown the pictures with the Spanish words tabbed down and asked to supply English equivalents, most of which are more accurate. In a sense, the book supplies a charming set of flash cards. --Ann Welton, Thomas Academy, Kent, WA
