Customer Reviews

Great series for all levels!

I am bilingual and am raising my son bilingual, too. This is an excellent book and series with adorable pictures, and each page has both english and spanish on it. The back includes pronunciation guides for all the vocabulary (both for english and spanish) which is helpful for my husband, a non-native speaker. It's very hard to find quality bilingual books- I've looked around a lot and loved these so much I have even given them as gifts to friends who want to introduce their kids (and themselves) to the language.

GREAT book for early Spanish learning

Normally I would say that my daughter is a little old for this type of book. At 5 she is a bit beyond little board books without many words. But for laying a foundation for Spanish, this book is just what both she & I need. The simple sentences allow us to see what exactly each word means, as well as get an intuitive grasp on the grammer, and the pronunciation guide in the back is VERY helpfull. I know that we will quickly move beyond this book, but for now I view it as essential for our grasping Spanish. In fact, I plan on buying the other books in this series.

My Family andI?Mi Familia Y Yo

This is another book that I enjoyed by this author. My children have asked me to continue to purchase this books and they read them all the time. I see the joy and excitement on their faces as they say different words in Spanish and actually know the meaning. I feel that it is important for the and myself to learn a second language, and books like these have been able to serve as a base for my entire family. It's easy to read and grasp, and a good reference to look at when necessary. Keep up the great work Gladys and I'll keep reading your books. Learning is a continuous process and now it's become really fun!

Great children's book

This is a book that any small child can love and the fact that it teaches as it entertains is a great tribute to the skill and the heart of the author. Sturdy construction, a size made for "little hands" and bright colors have made it a favorite of my kids. We know several Spanish-speaking families in our church--and this book will help as kids talk to kids, I think.

A delightful, bilingual board book

Written by Gladys Rosa-Mendoza and edited by Carolina Cifuentes, My Family and I / Mi Familia y Yo is a delightful, bilingual board book for young children ages 3 through 6. With colorful illustrations by Jackie Snider, this durable board book offers a simple but engaging text in both English and Spanish. My Family And I/Mi Familia y You with its simple sentences for beginning readers in both languages is very strongly recommended for family, preschool, kindergarten, and community library collections.
