Easy Spanish Storybook: Goldilocks and the Three Bears (Book + Audio CD) (McGraw-Hill's Easy Spanish Storybook)

good way to learn simple spanish, slightly different than the english version of the story

I often use Ana Lomba's products in my Spanish classes to supplement the conversational curriculum I develop week by week.

This book is great - the students listen at home to the CD, and then read it in groups in class. We discuss the new words they learned, and for older students, we talk about the difference between preterite and imperfect tense verbs (high school).

For an introduction to Spanish, this may be a little overwhelming - but it never hurts to hear the target language in one more format! After a few lessons on the words that will be used, this is an excellent book. The only thing I noticed is that the Spanish translation is more "Spain-y" than Mexican, which is fine - all regionalisms are great, but for my own students, being in Texas, they noticed the difference between the way we speak around here versus this book. Honestly, a TEENY little con. All in all, a great supplement to any curriculum, any age!

I am very happy w/this purchase. I love that it's in Spanish and English. A very easy read uses latin american spanish which I appreciate. How can you go wrong w/such a classic story. It is one of my kids favorite stories.

I've recently purchased this book for my 2 kids, 2yrs and 3 1/2. They are both starting to learn spanish. My only complaints about the book would be that the illustracions are not what I'm used to in kids fairy-tale books, though my son thinks this is great... and also, that on the CD the speaker is speaking with a spanish accent, rather than a latin-american one (we were expecting a LA accent as purchased in the US). But, I still give it 5/5 as it is (so far) the best bi-lingual book we have found to both make new vocab reasonable clear and easy for the kids to figue out, and also, for maintaining their interest. My youngest is walking around the house calling his bears the tres osos, and rocking on his rocker saying delante-detras... so the vocab from the book sticks well due to the repetition.

Any book Ana Lomba has her name on, we will buy.

I am a non-Spanish speaking mother of a five year old daughter and two year old son. I want my children to be bilingual. I bought "Play and Learn Spanish" first and have purchased everything else this author has produced. All Ana Lomba's materails are A++++++++

Another fun and interactive learning tool and Another must have if you want to teach and learn Spanish.
