Goodreads

In this simple bilingual board book, Alma tells readers about her house and what she likes to do there. Readers will be exposed to basic vocabulary in digestible short sentences, with the English text in black and the Spanish text in dark yellow.  The strength of this book are the beautiful illustrations which cover the whole spread.  The colors are mostly neutral with a pop of color to add visual interest and the facial expressions throughout convey the love and joy Alma experiences at home.  This would be a great addition to any collection with board books.
