Sonrisas for Baby: A Little Book of Smiles (Board book)
Another favorite from illustrator Blanca Gómez. Smiling baby makes friends everywhere they go in this cheerful bilingual board book that teaches simple Spanish words.
This sweet English/Spanish bilingual board book proves that smiles can brighten any day. Everyone has smiles for baby -- from un amigo to la familia to la rana and un pez, in this charming board book that gently infuses easy Spanish vocabulary into the text. The spare and simple Spanish is accessible for both bilingual parents and those who wish to introduce Spanish to their little ones. Either way, parents won't be able to resist giving muchas sonrisas as they share this bilingual read aloud, filled with bold, graphic illustrations, with their little bébé!
