My 3 year old asks me to read this over and over again. He loves to here the voices of the respective bears Mama, Papa or Baby bear. It is concisely written and easy for someone with a moderate understanding of Spanish to read. My only criticism is that part of the translation is incorrect. "High" is translated as "dura". and "low" is translated as "blanda". These translations are both incorrect.
I am a native Spanish speaker and, as another reviewer stated, the translation in part of the book is wrong. The English version states that one bed was too "high" and the other one was too "low". These were incorrectly translates to "dura" which means "hard" and "blanda" which means "soft".
I just read a review of this book saying that "high" was incorrectly translated to "dura" and "low" to "blanda". I have this book and noticed that the author does not use high and low to describe the chairs in English but uses "hard" and "soft", which are translated correctly to Spanish using the adjectives "dura" and "blanda".This book retells the classic story with few differences from the classic story many of us grew up with. The illustrations are a little boring and don't stand out.
These are the best books for anyone who wants to either learn Spanish or who wants to brush up on their Spanish. It is also a great way to introduce the stories to children.
