Review by School Library Journal Review
PreS-Gr 3-In Primeras palabras, basic words are explored in sections devoted to the body, rooms of the house, clothes and accessories, food, vehicles, school, colors, shapes, numbers, and action words. In Primeras palabras de los animales, animals are grouped geographically, representing Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia, and Australia, as well as tundra, coral reef, oceans, and polar regions. Although content is appropriate for a young audience, the writing is in cursive, making it challenging for early readers. The artwork in both books is magnificently done in clay and mostly set on spreads surrounded by labeled items. Each spread is rich in color and detail, conveying texture and contributing to a sense of realism. A globe highlighting where the animals live is included. After reading these books, children will love trying to make their own clay figures. Great additions to any collection.-Ana Rodriguez, Tamarac Elementary School, FL (c) Copyright 2011.
