Food/Los alimentos

Sterling. Sterling, $4.95 (28p) ISBN 978-1-4549-1998-8

Children learn the English and Spanish names of 26 food items, many of which they are likely to have sampled, in this addition to the Say & Play Bilingual series. The foods are a mix of familiar fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins, and they include bananas/pl%C3%A0tanos, chicken/pollo, mushrooms/champi%C3%B1ones, and quinoa (spelled the same in both languages). A photograph of each appears against a white background with the words in a brightly colored font below. Simple, direct, and effective in both its aim and execution. Available simultaneously: Clothes/La ropa. Up to age 2. (Apr.)
