Around The World With - Alrededor Del Mundo Con Cantinflas (English and Spanish Edition) Board book – Picture Book, March 13, 2018

Enjoy reading this to my son

Wow, I'm surprised by the negative reviews. First off, I have the Zapata colors book and have purchased the first words loteria book. The majority of the lil libros collection doesn't include too much of a story. It is a pretty straightforward, there's an English word and a Spanish word. This one's theme states it is a geography book which I am assuming is a nod to Cantinflas role in Around the World in 80 days. It includes the name of the country and the capitals in English and Spanish. I love the illustrations which include a number of landmarks for each of the countries or things they are known for and I feel that it is a great introduction to children for all the wonderful places that exist in our vast world. We have been fortunate to have visited places like San Francisco (there's a picture of the Golden Gate bridge) and Mexico that I hope my son makes the connection that we can visit many places. It's the perfect geography book for my lil preschooler right now.

Buenísimo. My 14mo boy loves it. It's become one of his favorites and I like that it's educational: it has little text but the countries and capitals are in there, with a lot of different icons of products, landmarks or cultural items from each nation. So you have a lot of room to talk to the kid in either language. I also like playing with him and asking "¿Dónde está Cantinflas?," kind of like "find Waldo." The quality of paper and print are really nice, I would say better than average for board books.

A pesar que no tiene texto, solo el país y su nombre ... a mi bebe le encanta buscar a cantinflas, le muestro quien es cantinflas y después pregunto donde esta y el señala con su dedo :3

This is a cute book--well illustrated, and the material/pages are good quality. However, I was expecting a story or rhyme...there is literally no text beyond the name of each country in both English and Spanish (e.g., "Brazil/Brasil") along with a picture of the country populated with images of things that country is known for (animals, etc.). Nothing about Cantinflas aside from an illustration of him next to the country, so it could be anyone. Cute book to look through and point out the different items with your baby--but I was hoping for a bedtime story or at least a little more cultural background about Cantinflas.

I want to start with a positive... beautiful colors, solid board book!! However, I expected more text, about the life of Cantiflas... it fell short, for me!! I am going to assume that these are places related to Cantinflas, places he probably visited. I bought it for my baby... so it is perfect in terms of color and perfect for his age group. I'm a supporter of Hispanic writers, therefore I will keep it. But I know more could have come out of it!!

This one is different from the other books; it doesnt have any words. But what i like aboit it is that you can make it interactive and make up your own story. I like to ask my 16 month old daughter "Donde esta Cantinflas?" or "Where is Cantinflas", and she points him out. Since Cantinflas travels around in different means of transportation, i discribe it and she follows along.

It’s very cute and it’s not easy to rip so adorable

I was expecting more for this book. The quality is very good, and the pictures as well, but it’s missing words in my opinion, it is only graphic book.

Great illustrations, although I wish it had Canada in it

I read to my son as I am teaching spanish

Found this book really disappointing. It only features page after page of randomly selected countries with images to represent certain famous aspects of that country. Illustrations are great but not very interesting. I suppose it's the kind of book that you make interesting on your own by making up games like "can you see the....?". I'm planning to return my copy.

I liket it and my daughter loves it
