Excelente! This book is adorable. The illustrations and bright colors are so appealing to our toddler. The "dichos" (sayings) are classic, adorable, and very similar to many in English.I am a native English speaker who is bilingual and my husband is a native Spanish speaker who is bilingual. We are teaching our kids both languages and want them to know their Mexican culture and this is one tool to teach them both. My husband gets a kick from some of the sayings, laughing because he remembers hearing them growing up.The sayings are good lessons and have good morals.I definitely recommend this book and know it will be a good one for our kids for many years. Our oldest is 2 and a quarter and right now it's good for the visuals and the language. As he grows and understands more, the sayings will be good lessons to live by.
Me encanta este libro! I am an adult and use children's books to practice my pronunciation and comprehension. Because of the great illustrations, it really helps with retention of the book's idioms. Its a wonderfull book for all ages learning to read!
I love this book. It is a book about old Spanish sayings. I just love it. If your abuelita is or was a wise Latina you will appreciate this book. I really enjoy reading this one to my daughter and explaining the meaning behind the old wise sayings. Some of the best old sayings are in here and some really good ones I had not heard before. Buy it. It's worth it.
Using this to supplement my "Learning Conversational Spanish" life enrichment class. I'm 73 and this is a little over my head right now....but, I will master it soon! Looking for this "grandmother" to teach me a thing or two.
Este libro me ENCANTO. Me recuerda mucho a mi abuela. Ella siempre esta usando dichos para darme lecciones de vida. Si eres latino y estas buscando un cuento con enseñanza para los niños, uno que tenga valores, este libro es lo que estas buscando. A mi me encanto y tengo 20 años. De hecho me quede con ganas de leer mucho mas de esta hermosa historia.
great story. I used it to teach morality and some key Spanish expressions. A great buy for a home library or school read aloud
I just read the book and was very impressed. My husband and I are second generation Cuban/ Americans who are trying our best to teach our children Spanish and about our family's culture. The phrases the book mentions are phrases we both grew up hearing from our mothers, grandmothers and great-grandmothers. The illustrations are relevant and fun. The length of the book is also reasonable for young children to enjoy without getting restless. My daughter liked the book so much that I ordered it as gift for her friend.
The book is really more of a pamphlet AND the language used is a little complicated for Spanish language learners. I ended up supplementing my gift to a ten year old with a Spanish/English dictionary since I worried she would not understand all the words. Nevertheless, it has a certain charm. I can remember MY grandmother saying some of the same things (in English.)
