Reading a wonderful picture book is a powerful experience. Language, color, and ideas come together to create a world that captures a child’s imagination. Brown bear, brown bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr., illustrated by Eric Carle, does just that. Oso pardo, oso pardo ¿qué ves ahí?, the Spanish translation of this classic, is every bit as absorbing as the original. The question-response structure, the rhythm and rhyme, and Carle’s beautiful illustrations make it the perfect book for learning Spanish animal and color words.
Pájaro rojo, pájaro rojo ¿qué ves ahí? Red bird, red bird what do you see? (Ahí, meaning “there”, was added to the translation to maintain the rhythm and rhyme of the original text.)
Veo un pato amarillo que me mira a mí. I see a yellow duck looking at me.
Children learn Spanish words as they relate them to the illustrations. They learn Spanish phrases through repetition. In no time at all, your child will be saying ¿Qué ves ahí? with you as you read. Enjoy the world of this lovely book as your child is learning Spanish.
