Good for Counting, Just Okay for Culture
I bought this book to read to my 1 year old, since I am a native Spanish speaker and I am teaching my son Spanish as well. I expected more about Frida in the book, but it only includes information about her until about #5, and then it becomes very generic. It counts clouds, leaves on trees, ten toes, all of which can be applied to anyone, not just Frida. It's a fine book to learn numbers, but I wouldn't pay $10 just for that.
Wrapped with loving care...
This unique little book came to me lovingly wrapped in orange tissue paper with a Yogaso Logo sticker and a personally written "Thank you!" from the seller. Love Frida, and will try to pass her story along to my grand daughter. Love this series of informative books with a bit of bio thrown in to make it interesting for children and adults alike. Kudos Yogaso!
Adorable!
I love the idea of starting a new language as early as possible, and being in San Diego - learning spanish is a must! This little book is not only sturdy and well made, but the designs and content are seriously adorable. It's simple enough that a child would easily learn from it, but also detailed enough to be a good lesson in language. Plus - it's a cartoon Frida, I mean come on!!!
Loved this book!
So cute! I loved it! My son does too!
A must have
This has become my daughter's favorite thing in the world. She is 10 months now. She loves and will sit down for a decent period of time to "read" this book. She loves to chew on it too. Her favorite page is the "portraits". If she is getting into something she shouldn't, all I have to do is open the book and she will stop what she is doing, and crawl to the book with a huge grin. It keeps her entertained and it's great at teaching her new words in Spanish. It's a board book and I purchased it so that it could be chucked, thrown, and chewed on for this little girl. It has held well, with the exception of ripping on the cover, but that is from a persistent teething baby who will chew on anything! I think the colors are engaging for little ones during this developing time. Great job! I cant wait to purchase more of the Lil Libros books.
FRIDA!!! It's a must!
Buy it! I adore this woman and this is a great introduction to her. The pictures are precious and it spells out her life in small ways. I gave it to my niece who I hope can one day embody the fearlessness and independence of the woman we call FRIDA!!!
Great book, my 14mo enjoys
My 14mo boy likes it. The quality of paper and print are really nice, I would say better than average for board books. I get to teach them the numbers in either language, count with him and talk to him about other cultural things like the Casa Azul, etc. He pays a lot of attention because the graphics and the colors are very attractive. I also have the Cantinflas one from the same publisher and they're both very nice.
Learn about art, language, and numbers
Beautiful illustrations and I love that there’s a culturally significant figure tied in to learning numbers. Additionally, you’re getting some vocabulary words to go with your numbers. It feels like a three in one book because you’re learning about art, numbers, and vocabulary.
Dull
I was disappointed in this. I bought it for my son's math teacher who is having a baby and it's boring. The pictures are lack luster and the items being counted are random. They don't really relate to Frida at all. I'd look for something else.
Lovely little book!
I bought this as a gift for a two year old. Each page features a number and objects to count (such as "dos flores/two flowers"). The pages are bold, colorful, and exciting. This is a great way to introduce little ones to Frida, art, and another culture/language!
