Learn the Alphabet and a Little Spanish While You're at it

Cute book

By Lola - August 19, 2012

I got this book for my son who is almost 2 years old. The pictures are cute and it's a very simple book, but some of the words seem odd for a cardboard book meant for such young children. The 'Q' page features the word quintuplets. That just seems like a pointless word for my son to learn in english or spanish right now. There are a few other words that I just skip, but all-in-all the book is cute.
