My First Touch & Feel Picture Cards: Animals (MY 1ST T&F PICTURE CARDS)
“Ok, calling this an "educational toy" is a bit of a stretch, but they're fun. These are large, thick cards with bright pictures on them that have shiny/sticky/crinkly/fuzzy portions for young children to touch and enjoy. On the back they have the name of the item in English, Spanish, French (I think?), and Chinese along with pronunciation tips. They hold up well to typical toddler...” --Mosaic

Hare and the Tortoise, The/La Liebre Y la Tortuga (Bilingual Fairy Tales)
“This line of bilingual books is one of the easiest to find in most brick&morter book stores, which makes it a convenient gift. It has both English and Spanish text, which is helpful for families like mine where not every member of the extended family is bilingual. The Spanish is quite good, with some good vocabulary thrown in here and there and some light humor as well. This classic story is...” --Mosaic

It has both English and Spanish text, which is helpful for families like mine where not every member of the extended family is bilingual.

Mr. Peabody's Apples (sp): Las Manzanas Del Sr. Peabody
“Perhaps not the most beautifully written book you'll ever read, it may very well be one of the most beautifully illustrated. More modern children's books don't typically have such gorgeous and rich artwork, so this book is worth purchasing for that alone! The story's writing is a bit harsh for sensitive readers like my 4yo, but the lesson is a good one, the point is expressed clearly, and the...” --Mosaic
Whoever You Are (Reading Rainbow Books)
“This book, available in English and Spanish versions, talks about people and children around the world. It acknowledges our differences as well as our similarities and serves as a good introductory book to talking to children about culture, race, traditions, and global awareness. It's a short board book with bright, colorful illustrations of different places around the world.” --Mosaic
El gato en el sombrero/ The Cat In The Hat
“I bought this book online because it was bilingual, which is great in a house where we're raising our children in Spanish but have lots of English-speaking babysitters and family members. The English version is the Dr. Seuss we all know and love, and the Spanish translation is true to the original text. In other words, it's an accurate translation, but it is no fun to read at all! The...” --Mosaic
Huevos verdes con jamón
“I grew up with Dr. Seuss, so I was thrilled to find this translation available now that I'm raising my daughters in a Spanish-speaking household. This is a solid translation, very close to the original but still does a great job of keeping the "fun" rhyme and silliness that is Dr. Seuss. While I wouldn't necessarily consider this an "educational" book, it is a fun book to enjoy with your...” --Mosaic
The New Bible in Pictures for Little Eyes
“ I really enjoy reading this Bible with our child. I feel that the stories are short enough that they hold his attention while still communicating the essentials. I like that there are a couple of questions after each story. This is helpful for me as a parent in engaging my child in the reading. The only thing that I would change (as an elementary teacher) I would like to see more open-ended...” --mhemingson
