I teach a 2 & 3 year old class at church. About 1/2 of my students come from English speaking homes. The other 1/2 come from Spanish speaking homes. I was looking for a Bible to give to my students that their parents can read to them AND one we can use in class. I have been using the English version for years and love it for this age group. Having the Bilingue one to give my students have been a GREAT blessing. The English text is on one 1/2 of the page with the spanish text on the other 1/2. The pictures are a little smaller, but are very colorful. My students love bringing their Bibles to church. The parents were so grateful to have a bible that they could read to their child. I even had one older sister who exclaimed, I can read in English to my little sister AND my parents can read to her in Spanish.I also love the story selection. It does a good job of covering the major stories of the Bible with an age appropriate text.I will definately purchase more as my class grows.
I serve as a room leader for about 20 age 4 and 5 children in our church, which uses the English version of this kid's Bible. Thus, when I noticed it is also available in a bilingual Spanish/English version, I was immediately interested, as some of the children in the room speak Spanish.What makes this a particularly useful version is that it has the English and Spanish versions together on facing pages, making it very helpful for those trying to improve skill in both languages (including me.)The text in both English and Spanish is very much simplified, and it is a collection of stories for children from the Bible, rather than a full text.The full-color cartoon artwork on every page also adds a lot of value, especially by giving the children something fun to look at as I read the stories aloud.The book is sturdy too - likely to survive years of use by a young reader.Side note to adults: I found it entertaining to compare the English and Spanish translations, as there are often interesting and subtle differences in the details of the story, depending on the language being read. That helped me maintain interest as I read the whole thing in Spanish to build my own skills.Highly recommended.
Compre esta biblia para mi hijo cuando el tenia 6 anos. Ahora que tiene 8, le toca leer una biblia mas grande. Pero definitivamente las historias de esta biblia son divertidas!...Todavía se las leo antes de acostarnos, cuando me pide que leamos una historia. Interesante también que cada párrafo contado, esta traducido al ingles en la misma pagina.La recomiendo
I wouldn't say is the best but it does the trick of getting your little one started on Christian learnings.Pros:bilingual pages side to side allow you to read in both languages or simply compare. My husband is also learning Spanish and he enjoys being able to read the translation without having to turn to another page.Cons:Spanish translation is elementary. I am native Spanish speaker and while I understand they intent is to keep it kid friendly some of the translates content appears to have been written by someone with first level Spanish. There are sections in which translation is even incorrect or a Spanglish was used.Again, it does the trick. But if you are looking for a more robust well translated Spanish/English this may fall a bit short.
arrived quickly, and we love it!mommy reads in spanish, daddy reads in english! good times!
I love the book, with drawings and is super easy to understand for children, the stories are short but bring the most important and so our children are introduced to the Bible. The best thing about the book is that it comes in both languages. My son and I are happy to read it every night and learn so much.
This has Spanish and English side-by-side and a colorful, lively picture on every page. My son loves it. If you are looking for interpretations or prayers, this book doesn't have it, they just have the stories. I prefer it like this. As my son gets older we will talk about what he thinks it means and what I think it means, and since this is not pre-defined for him by the book he'll just have to give his God-given noggin a little workout. For now (age 2-1/2) he is simply enjoying the stories. We've had this less than a week and it's already one of his favorite books in heavy rotation. He is one of those children who accosts all adults and older kids in the family, whoever comes into the house really, to read to him. It's nice, when whoever he grabs can work with the book he is wanting at that moment, because it has both languages together.
My daughter took this on a missions trip to Costa Rica to read to and give the kids. This was excellent and a great way for a teen to share the word with only a couple spanish classes behind her :) it had both English and Spanish. Helped everyone get the word across :)
