“This bilingual shapes board book is a great introduction to shapes, Spanish, and Aztec art and architecture. While it's a simple book, there's a lot to talk about, so it could easily be tailored to any baby, toddler, or pre-schooler. It's also fun to notice how some words in English and Spanish look and sound very different and others look and sound almost exactly the same.”

“This is a fantastic dual language shapes book. The only words on each page are the names of the shape in English and Spanish. The illustrations are beautiful and creative. Each page teaches a shape on the left and then incorporates that shape into a design reminiscent of the ancient Aztec empire and the emperor Cuauhtemoc.”
