My First Book of Proverbs/Mi primer libro de dichos Paperback – Picture Book, March 20, 2002

My parents came from Cuba, but I was born here. I teach Spanish to my two granddaughters who are homeschooled. With the older one I am using this book as a supplementary reading book. We have weekly lessons and she memorizes one proverb a week. There are 28 proverbs in the book. The illustrations are very colorful, interesting, and expressive. The price was very reasonable. Well worth the money. I wish there was a sequel to this book, illustrating more proverbs, or perhaps ones from other Latin American countries. I would definitely buy them.

As an educator for the past 27 years, I can honestly say that if I were to buy one book for a child it would be this book!

These are not proverbs! They are sayings in Spanish. Big difference. Otherwise entertaining.

Love this artist. His colors and imagination are fantastic!

A treasure trove of wise words from the well-known to nearly-forgotten (though undeservedly), in Spanish and English. Illustrated beautifully and wittily in a folk-art style.

100% satisfaction guaranteed!

I made a point of looking up the book here on Amazon so I could write a glowing review. I have also bought a copy for a friend and neighbor (her native country, Mexico). We both are new moms and my son, who is almost two, LOVES this book. "A painting is a poem without words" -- you can see the truth to that saying! The style emphasizes bold color and fantastic figures. The backdrop to these proverbs is an unapologetically childlike universe, awash with the mystery of the new within in the familiar. I wish the authors great success: many many people SHOULD enjoy this book!

Great for both children and adults. I just love the artwork and feel this is a great deal for this little artwork.
