Synopsis
This unusual and charmingly illustrated English-Spanish dictionary for children teaches kids more than single words--it teaches them complete simple sentences in two languages! Still another unusual feature in this book is its very useful arrangement of sentences into 62 separate themes. Each theme relates to familiar objects and activities in a typical child's life, and each theme is presented as a color-illustrated two-page spread. For example, on the spread labeled Breakfast/Desayuno, young readers will see six illustrations of typical morning scenes showing Mom and children. Each scene has a descriptive caption in both English and Spanish. One of them shows two kids at the breakfast table, and reads: Tom and Lily like cereal very much. A Tom y Lily les gustan mucho los cereales. Other bilingual themes include The House/La Casa, Games/Juegos, Toys/Juguetes, Clothes/Ropa, A new baby at home/Un bebe en casa, and many others.

Two paired sentences--one in English and one in Spanish--come with an appealing color illustration that makes meanings easier for boys and girls to understand in both languages.

English-speaking children will begin learning Spanish, and Spanish-speaking boys and girls will get a head start in learning English.
