Reader Reviews
This is a great addition to our bilingual library. We bought it just before our son's 2nd birthday. The illustrations are cute and the story about a little boy enjoying his big day was just right. This book is equally great for native English-or Spanish-speakers as it has a vocab list with pronunciations in both languages (intended for parents). This series is awesome.
