Bilingual quickie board book. (Spanish-English)
Great book for the littles. Pictures were beautiful and one word emotions. I would say it in Spanish and they'd have to tell me what that was in English. Tested their little big brains a bit but they enjoyed it. ...more

Not a fan (at all!) of Day of the Dead style skeletons, but they were GREAT here. The expressions were not as clear as I would have liked them to be, but the girl on "surprised" was so darn cute that I didn't even care! lol

One word emotion words in English and Spanish.
So fun. Though I think E needs to be a little older to make the connection between the skeleton faces and normal faces.
This book was a really great one to read at bilingual family storytime! My audience has been skewing younger lately (most are 1.5 years; a few are 4-5), and this book was just perfect for that age range. Each page has one word on it in both English and Spanish, and an illustration of the emotion conveyed by that word. Books like this can help kids put a word to how they feel, which helps them communicate and be better understood! It's an important step toward self-regulation. And it also helps k

This is a wonderful bilingual board book to celebrate Dia de Muertos and to learn about emotions. The illustrations are gorgeous! The color and the expressions of the skeletons are sure to engage the youngest reader. I thought that the way the emotions are portrayed were also very recognizable for little ones. This is a great and simple texted board book to learn both English and Spanish.
With board books and babies, there is no such thing as a finished date. I'm calling this one finished anyway even if I've only read it 10 times in the past few days. My granddaughter loves it. Her mother reads it to her in Spanish and I read it to her in English. She gets excited by each new expression, and is even a bit worried by the angry face.

Apparently this series has been around awhile but it's only recently that I've been seeing them recently. A fun bilingual (English/Spanish) board book series that introduces concepts to babies and toddlers usually with some sort of Spanish influence or reference.

Why does a book with twenty words need two authors?
I ADORE this series of Latin American bilingual concept board books. This one in particular is delightful and great for social-emotional lessons.
I really like the concept, but it's a bit difficult to tell nuanced emotions from the faces of Day of the Dead skeletons.

I'm looking for a good emotions book for my babe, but I seem to keep finding ones that are not of human faces! That said, the art in this book was beautiful.

Very cute. My anatomy-obsessed 3yo loves the skeletons, and I love being able to introduce her to Spanish (and reinforce emotional vocabulary)!
A fun board book about emotions with cute, engaging illustrations!
We. loved. this. book. The illustrations are so bright and wonderful. Each page has an emotion in both Spanish and English. In the 3 weeks that I had it home from the library, I bet I read it at least 50 times (I'm not kidding). Now my 20 month old son toddles around the house making all the hand motions to accompany the emotion (hand to the cheek with a shocked expression for surprise/sporendido, scratching his head for confused/confundido). He even walks up and says "amada" while giving us hug

A simple, bilingual board book naming various emotions in both English and Spanish. The illustrations are (adorable) Day of the Dead themed, with cute little painted skeletons making the faces to go with emotions. Would be a fun way to introduce Spanish vocabulary and would make a great Day of the Dead themed storytime pick.
