About this title

From School Library Journal

Grade 1-3–This straightforward picture dictionary presents scenes and objects that are part of a child's world. Twenty-two different spreads give words, along with their definite articles, related to family, body, colors, shapes, numbers, mealtimes, food, drink, rooms of the house, pets and farms, doctor and dentist, classroom, and sports. While some pages, such as those dealing with the body or fruits and vegetables, simply use labeled drawings, others show full-blown scenes with labeled objects in the margins (e.g., the backyard or the farm). However, some spreads show items that do not appear in the scene, which is a source of potential confusion and frustration. The Spanish used is European Spanish, so "french fries," for example, is translated as "las patatas fritas" instead of the more familiar Latin American "papas fritas." The pronunciation given is likewise European. The cartoon illustrations have a computer-generated sharpness and no discernible style of their own. While a moderately good introduction to common Spanish nouns, this is a less successful treatment than either Phoebe Beinstein's Dora's Book of Words/Libro de palabras de Dora (S & S, 2003) or Angela Wilkes's My First Spanish Word Book/Mi primer libro de palabras en Español (DK, 1993).
