This book has over 500 pictures with Spanish/English words for each one. It includes a pronunciation guide to aid in speaking the words. The categories of words includes some of the following: Household items, family, body parts, food, school, animals, and groceries.

The pictures in this book are very engaging in their details. I particularly like the spread of "family portraits" that depict a all the members of the family, with the baby tugging sister's braid and everyone else looking on with a smile. It is cute.

A teacher could use this book with early education classes, particularly if some of the students are not primarily English-speaking. It would aid them in acquiring some new English vocabulary, and the English-speaking students would be introduced to some Spanish words. Older students could use this on their own as a reference book to look up particular Spanish words for translations. An English class could use this book to look at the root words in the Spanish that might be similar to English words, helping them to increase their vocabulary skills.
