I recently had the chance to preview the book Bosley Goes to the Beach (English to Spanish) by Timothy Johnson. The book has attractive illustrations (always important to me), is written in a bedtime story format, and has a good message.
My nine year old niece enjoyed the book, and felt that she could really start to learn some Spanish if she were to study the text. There were Spanish labels for several objects/people throughout the story, as well as text in both English and Spanish.
One thing that could be tricky is if the parent reading the book did not already have some experience speaking Spanish. (Words could definitely be mispronounced). This is just a basic, beginners intro to Spanish geared towards kids.
That being said, I would recommend the book for parents who feel comfortable with the Spanish language but may need a refresher to teach their children (ie they took it in college or high school, and know general pronunciation rules for Spanish).
Mr. Johnson also has books in the Bosley series to help learn German, Italian, Russian, Mandarin Chinese, and French. I would love if there was a Bosley book with English to Amharic or English to Creole (hint hint).
