User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Just to clarify what it has been said
I am Peruvian so I speak Spanish. I will tell you that "naranja" and "anaranjado" are both correct adjectives to describe the colour orange. In Peru we use both.



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Learning colors
Book was in good condition as discribed by the seller. My son loves the book



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - "naranja" is correct in spain
Great book, my toddler loves it. And there are no mistakes.

For clarification: the colour orange is "naranja" in Spanish from Spain. We call the fruit and the colour the same in Spain (just as they do in English!). I know in Latin American countries they say "anaranjado". But that does not make "naranja" a mistake in the book. It is correct Spanish, found in the dictionary.It was just probably translated by a Spaniard.

I was shocked by the review by a teacher saying that she tells her students that the word "naranja" is wrong. I would never tell my toddler that "anaranjado" is incorrect, even though we don't say it that way! It's just a proof of the diversity of the Spanish language. Shame on this teacher who says she uses "naranja" as an example of bad translation - and complains of seeing the mistake frequently. No wonder, since it is not a mistake. She should instead explain how different Spanish-speaking countries use different words, and all are correct.



Rated by buyers 4 out of 5 stars - a good start
"ANARANJADO" is the word I learned for the COLOR orange. "NARANJA" means the fruit, not the color. Confusing, since in English the colour and the fruit are the same word! Other than that, a very cute early Spanish book!



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - my 16 month olds favorite book!
My 16 month old LOVES this book. She has been bringing it to me for months asking me to read it 'with' her. she points at all the different things on each page and I tell her what it is and what colour it is. ex "that's a purple grasshopper" or "he's painting the fence purple". It's a very colourful book for us to share together. And as a bonus we get to learn spanish colours too!
