Book Reviews of What Color Is It?/zQue color es este? (Good Beginnings) (Spanish Edition)

Book Review: Beware: Castillian Spanish, not LatinAmerican
Summary: 2 Stars

Please, no flames from my European friends, but if you're parenting a bilingual kid in the U.S., and are looking to support your kid speaking the more common Spanish used in the U.S. (meaning, that language spoken in LatinoAmerica...you know...Mexico, Central and Most of South America and the Caribbean), this isn't the book to get. It's cute, but it uses words for colors that you'll only see in Spain. Nothing wrong with Spain (other than that pesky Conquest that messed up a lot of lives, which many in modern-day nations are still aware of and not that happy about), but I'd skip this book if I had it to do over again. We live in Brooklyn, not Madrid.

I actually re-cycled this book by making my own collages (with Mod Podge and paper) and printing the LatinoAmerican Spanish words on the pages so the book wouldn't be a total waste and irritate me EVERY time I saw it. It was a fun project, but I'm a busy working mom, and I didn't expect what I got. I'd have liked an accurate description of the fact that it uses Castillian, and I think ALL Spanish books sold in the U.S. should clearly state which kind of Spanish it supports.
