Meh. It's not terribly entertaining and not particularly helpful for learning Spanish either.

This book is so fun to read with Henry. Aaron the alligator holds a sign that says “I am a horse” for the word TRUE. That is not true. (No es verdad.) Well Aaron is hilarious and he’s on every other page sick in bed, reading the newspaper, crashing an airplane, cutting paper, etc. All I have to ask is, “What is our horse up to now?” and Henry cracks up. There are also a lot of bears (osos), dogs (perros) and birds (pájaros) doing funny things. The illustrations are so engaging that Henry will sit down and read the book to or with me every night. You can’t say that for many dictionaries.
Edited to add: We are still reading this book every night three months later. Thumbs up!

This was drawn by P. D. Eastman and it’s so easy to tell. All the dogs and alligators and his characters from the Swing are all over the definitions. It really is a young persons dictionary. There is a word with a picture of that word and a little sentence. It’s 134 pages long, about.
I can’t see how this is all that exciting, but it could be useful to a kid who is learning to read. It’s an old thing in the Dr. Seuss series to help kids learn to read. It’s cute enough.
