"These beautiful bilingual board books have been a hit with our youngest reader! They are also a top choice for my husband to grab since he is fluent in Spanish and enjoys the chance to share the language with her. My older kids love joining in and learning some new words too. These books are illustrated with the characters from the Emmy nominated @canticosworld bilingual musical preschool series on @nickjr but can be fully enjoyed whether you're familiar with the show or not. We read the books first. They are beautifully designed and sturdily built with both English and Spanish words throughout. Some of the titles are available in both small lift the flap book form or larger accordion style. Our favorite is the accordion style because the kids can surround themselves with the book." -- Stephanie Price, Because My Mother Read

"All in all, a cheerful bilingual introduction to familiar emotions." -- Kirkus

"Cute little colourful book about feelings. An introductory book for the little ones and how they can share their feelings with adults around them." --Aysha Imran, Bookseller, NetGalley

"This is a very cute book for very young children introducing different feelings and how they can use those to communicate with adults. There are also phrases here that can teach them a little vocabulary. The colors and illustrations are so cute and adorable to look at as well." --Zee Lant, NetGalley

"This is a beautifully illustrated book which helps young children to communicate their feelings. My little boy is 4 so a little older than the target audience but he still really enjoyed reading it with me and demonstrating his feelings. We also enjoyed learning the Spanish translations of the different feelings." --Victoria Jackson, NetGalley

"This book is a good start to teach kids about basic emotions. Do check it out!" --Pooja Banga, NetGalley

"It goes beyond the basic translation of each emotion by having a flap to life that asks what that feeling looks like (or can you show me a ___ face). The interactive aspect of the flap will make it more fun for young children and the added phrases will make it more interactive on the reader as well, after all can you read "can you show me a happy face" without making an exaggerated smile? Effective at teaching vocabulary while also visually appealing and fun." --Mandy Davis, Librarian, NetGalley

"Delightful board book that offers an emotions word on each page spread (happy, sad, excited, angry, etc.) in both English and Spanish. Then young readers can lift the flap and see the animal show that emotion along with a challenge for them to show it as well. The simple illustrations capture the emotions on each page. Families can read this together and have fun making faces that show the emotions. The language is simple to follow in both languages." -- Pamela Gombert, Librarian, NetGalley

"This is an adorable flap book for infants and toddlers. Each page has a feeling word in English and Spanish, on the opposite page a wonderful picture of a character, and once you lift the flap the characters' faces express the feeling. There is a short sentence or question in English and Spanish on the inside of the flap about each picture.

I love introducing young children and children with disabilities to books that have flaps, simple words, and beautiful pictures. This book checks all the boxes! I love that it is in English and Spanish for bilingual children or for parents who want to introduce their children to another language." -- Alexander Streeter, Educator, NetGalley

"Absolutely adorable! My 4 year old and 2 year old loved it. Artwork was very eye catching. Definitely a book we could read many times over and over." --Kylie Cole, NetGalley

"This book was adorable and I will definitely get my hands on a physical copy when I can!" --Marie Sutton, Librarian, NetGalley

"Simple vocabulary combined with emotions and in a bilingual format?! This is a pretty sure bet for my library. For Libraries: This will be a great fit for any board book collection." --Jennifer McCulley, Librarian, NetGalley

"Loved this adorable book! It may be small with few words, but it is full of conversation starters...This book is a great example of how a book can help solidify the intimate relationship between parent (guardian) and child." --Mary Antzak, Librarian, NetGalley

"Could this book be any cuter?! Perfect baby board book for any child! The artwork is just adorable and the flip-ups are spot-on for each feeling! I really like that it's in English and Spanish. The best time for someone to learn a new language is when they are young!" --Elyse LeMieux, NetGalley
