Bilingual First Books: English-French: Opposites (Bilingual Series)

by Clare Beaton

Cuddly, colorful teddy bears teach new words to very young children-and they do it in two languages! Six titles give toddlers an early start in learning a foreign language at the same time that they are learning their own. The left-hand page gives picture-caption word in English and the right-hand page gives the Spanish equivalent.

Hardcover

First published March 1, 1997

Reviews

[Inna Nako]

-very simple book naming common opposites both in English and Spanish
-accompanied by pictures so it is easier to have a visual with the written words
-this is a great resource for Spanish speaking children who are learning English, or the oppoite way around
-i like how there is the correct pronunciation for the Spanish words (beneficial to the teacher)

[Joanna]

Perfect for me - non Spanish speaker in a bilingual household. This book takes its vocabulary straight out of high school freshman Spanish class Lesson 1. I feel comfortable reading this book with my son knowing that I can properly pronounce these words.

[Karen]

Has some simple opposites that I knew, but others I had forgotten or never known.
I really liked that pronunciation was addressed on each page.
