Biblia para principiantes Bilingüe: Historias bíblicas para niños (The Beginner's Bible) (Spanish and English Edition)

I wouldn't say is the best but it does the trick of getting your little one started on Christian learnings.Pros:bilingual pages side to side allow you to read in both languages or simply compare. My husband is also learning Spanish and he enjoys being able to read the translation without having to turn to another page.Cons:Spanish translation is elementary. I am native Spanish speaker and while I understand they intent is to keep it kid friendly some of the translates content appears to have been written by someone with first level Spanish. There are sections in which translation is even incorrect or a Spanglish was used.Again, it does the trick. But if you are looking for a more robust well translated Spanish/English this may fall a bit short.

I serve as a room leader for about 20 age 4 and 5 children in our church, which uses the English version of this kid's Bible. Thus, when I noticed it is also available in a bilingual Spanish/English version, I was immediately interested, as some of the children in the room speak Spanish.What makes this a particularly useful version is that it has the English and Spanish versions together on facing pages, making it very helpful for those trying to improve skill in both languages (including me.)The text in both English and Spanish is very much simplified, and it is a collection of stories for children from the Bible, rather than a full text.The full-color cartoon artwork on every page also adds a lot of value, especially by giving the children something fun to look at as I read the stories aloud.The book is sturdy too - likely to survive years of use by a young reader.Side note to adults: I found it entertaining to compare the English and Spanish translations, as there are often interesting and subtle differences in the details of the story, depending on the language being read. That helped me maintain interest as I read the whole thing in Spanish to build my own skills.Highly recommended.

This has Spanish and English side-by-side and a colorful, lively picture on every page. My son loves it. If you are looking for interpretations or prayers, this book doesn't have it, they just have the stories. I prefer it like this. As my son gets older we will talk about what he thinks it means and what I think it means, and since this is not pre-defined for him by the book he'll just have to give his God-given noggin a little workout. For now (age 2-1/2) he is simply enjoying the stories. We've had this less than a week and it's already one of his favorite books in heavy rotation. He is one of those children who accosts all adults and older kids in the family, whoever comes into the house really, to read to him. It's nice, when whoever he grabs can work with the book he is wanting at that moment, because it has both languages together.

Great bible for bilingual families. My 4 yr old son loves the stories and the images. For a month, we have been reading the bible every night. He is always asking for more. The book is very heavy, make sure you add mailing tape (in the inside, both sides) to support the hardcover. Great introduction to God, a beautiful present for the little ones!

Written for Spanish speaking children but excellent for learning Spanish as well!

I teach a 2 & 3 year old class at church. About 1/2 of my students come from English speaking homes. The other 1/2 come from Spanish speaking homes. I was looking for a Bible to give to my students that their parents can read to them AND one we can use in class. I have been using the English version for years and love it for this age group. Having the Bilingue one to give my students have been a GREAT blessing. The English text is on one 1/2 of the page with the spanish text on the other 1/2. The pictures are a little smaller, but are very colorful. My students love bringing their Bibles to church. The parents were so grateful to have a bible that they could read to their child. I even had one older sister who exclaimed, I can read in English to my little sister AND my parents can read to her in Spanish.I also love the story selection. It does a good job of covering the major stories of the Bible with an age appropriate text.I will definately purchase more as my class grows.

Great bible books for your little onesEspecially. If they bilingüe .that story are very well explainedPictures great my kids. Love itJust on problem some of story missing..Like jod

I love the book, with drawings and is super easy to understand for children, the stories are short but bring the most important and so our children are introduced to the Bible. The best thing about the book is that it comes in both languages. My son and I are happy to read it every night and learn so much.

This is perfect for parents bringing up bilingual children. It can be used as a reader for children in KS1 (around 5-7 yrs depending on reading ability) and is also great for parents who are not completely fluent in the second language as it means you don't have to try and translate everything and worry about not varying your vocabulary much (or is that just me?!) as it is all done for you. Lovely illustrations and big text that my 5 year old enjoys. It is larger in length and width than the original monolingual version to accommodate both languages without cramming each page full of text.

Bought this as a baptism gift and everyone was really amazed by it. It is a great product in two languages with great illustrations.

Excellent. Just what was needed

Un libro con historias bíblicas cortas, con imagines preciosas. Me encanta, es en dos idiomas lo que me gusta mucho también para que los peques aprenden las historias en ingles.Si no conoces bien la biblia aun, hasta que lo recomiendo para un adulto. Por que te explica sobre las personajes mas importantes de la biblia y en breve la historia.

Nice pictures. Seems to be well translated, though I would defer to a better Spanish-speaking person for a final verdict.The stories are short, and sometimes they are condensed too much, to the point where the stories don't make sense.I think this is good for a very young child, but probably too simplistic for an older (i.e. 6 yrs and up) child.
