I live in the wonderful state of New Mexico. It is sunny here most days out of the year. New Mexico is also made up of a lot of different cultures. The two most common languages spoken here are English and Spanish. There are many people here who do not speak English. It is common here to go to the store and hear the cashier speak both English and Spanish.
Knowing both of these languages will help people succeed in the job market. My husband is a health inspector and sometimes needs to speak to people who only know Spanish. Thankfully, my husband is fluent in Spanish. My husband learned Spanish from years of working in restaurants. My husband gets special assignments at work because he is able to speak this second language. The schools here do not offer any Spanish classes until high school. That frustrates me as I know my children can learn a 2nd language easier when they are younger.
I found a wonderful book that helps my children to learn Spanish. The Bosley Sees the World: A Dual Language Book is a book that has the story in both Spanish and English. Each page of the story has the story in both languages. You read a couple of sentences in English and then read the same sentences in Spanish. The pages are colorful and the story keeps the child's attention as they read or listen to the story about a bear's adventures. This book is perfect for children who are learning how to read too. The parent can read while the child listens or the child can read with you.
My son enjoyed reading the story to himself in English and then I helped him read it in Spanish. The only thing that would make the book better would be a read along CD so I knew I was pronouncing words correctly.
The Bosley Sees the World books are available in other languages like French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, and Hindi.This children's book is perfect for kids who are learning English. So if you want your child to learn a 2nd language the Bosley Sees the World: A Dual Language Book can help them. You can even order the book for your Kindle.

Such a nice giveaway, I will have to share it!
Bosley looks awesome and so happy! I love him, and he looks like a better teacher than Dora ;)
Maybe it will help me learn a second language? Looks awesome! I think langauage should be started early when it's easy for us to learn.
What a fun way for kids to learn a new language!
This is a neat way to help teach kids a second language. I know my little one would like more story books to help with learning the second language we are working on.
Such a great idea to introduce the concept of other languages to kids. Plus Bosley looks so cute and cuddly.
If I won, I'd choose English, but that's only because I live in northern New England (Maine) and we have almost a non-existent spanish cultrue this far north. Now, French on the other hand, we hear and see often...we're pretty close to the Canadian border and live in what's considered a French speaking town historically.
Tara, I love these books. My son uses them to learn Spanish.
That is so cool - would probably work for me, too, since I don't understand some of the other books!! We would love the Spanish one! :)
what a great way to learn another language, at an early age too. I think we all need to know another language at some point-great book.
We enjoy these books - it is a great way to introduce children to another language.
