Using the cut-paper technique for which she is applauded, Rebecca Emberley has fashioned appealing books about colors, numbers, opposites, and shapes that give the Spanish and English words for each of the simple objects or concepts she illustrates. It is never too early to begin to learn another language, and these four stylish books will help the youngest English and Spanish speakers prepare for the multilingual society in which they will find themselves.
My Shapes / Mis formas FROM THE PUBLISHER Using the cut-paper technique for which she is applauded, Rebecca Emberley has fashioned appealing books about colors, numbers, opposites, and shapes that give the Spanish and English words for each of the simple objects or concepts she illustrates. It is never too early to begin to learn another language, and these four stylish books will help the youngest English and Spanish speakers prepare for the multilingual society in which they will find themselves. FROM THE CRITICS School Library Journal PreS-This attractive set of Spanish-English books will help to fill a gap in board-book collections. The books feature one or two words per language per page along with a cut-paper collage in bright colors. The simplified pictures with sharply contrasting colors are ideal for infant and toddler audiences. The quality of the reproductions is excellent, making the layers of different color paper visible and adding to the collages' texture and depth. Fine choices for the youngest patrons.-Denise E.
