My Thoughts: Great!
This is such a great book! I shared it with my 9-year-old grandson, and he agreed. He said the illustrations were nice, the information was interesting, and he learned about some animals he didn't know about. He is bilingual, and he enjoyed reading it in English and Spanish. I agree wholeheartedly and think it would be a wonderful resource for a bilingual classroom or any other bilingual setting. It is a great tool for practicing both languages and is loaded with great information. Although the book is suggested for ages 4-8, I feel it is appropriate for up to age 12. I highly recommend it.
Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with an advance copy of this book. All comments and opinions are entirely my own and voluntary.
