Beautiful illustrations, simple text! Good read!

This book was pretty good and the kids seemed to enjoy it. It gave lots of different modes of transportation and how you can get around. Overall it isn’t one that sticks out to me.

Spanish and English Foundations Series

I read this first in English and then in very (poorly read) Spanish. (It's been a few years since I spoke it on a regular basis.) I loved the details in each picture from the fire extinguisher to the helmets worn by the bicyclist and stop sign on the side of the school bus.I also appreciated the pronunciation guide at the back for the words I had forgotten how to pronounce properly.

Nice pictures with lots of bold colors, but the last page, "Identify all the things that help people go." is a real bummer.

both my 4 year old and 2 year old liked this.

A great sturdy board book with simple sentences in English and Spanish. I've read this one to my children many times. Great for young children but helpful for all ages if one of the languages is new.
