Reviews

[Rosa Cline · Rating 3 out of 5]

These Diego books are very similar to his television show asking questions for the reader to interact with (but not as much as the Dora books do) Which a little is fine, but for a book to be reading out loud the interactive books are alloying... so these are okay to read outloud you can skip the parts if you want and not loose the story. Or an independent reader can answer the questions along the way. So both ways are nice.

This book helps teach about speckled bears and it was nicely done... teaching about what they eat, where they live and how they rely upon their momma.

Ok so this time I got a book in spainish and I have no idea what is going on or even what kinds of animals that they are I think forcing back up a tree for some reason. They have a nest but are bears and I am now freaked out that I am going to be in the woods somewhere and look up to see a nest of bears coming after me. Ages 3+ (I think)
