5 out of 5 stars Just to clarify what it has been said   October 23, 2008
I am Peruvian so I speak Spanish. I will tell you that "naranja" and "anaranjado" are both correct adjectives to describe the color orange. In Peru we use both.

5 out of 5 stars "naranja" is correct in spain   July 1, 2007
  8 out of 8 found this review helpful

Great book, my toddler loves it. And there are no mistakes.

For clarification: the color orange is "naranja" in Spanish from Spain. We call the fruit and the color the same in Spain (just as they do in English!). I know in Latin American countries they say "anaranjado". But that does not make "naranja" a mistake in the book. It is correct Spanish, found in the dictionary.It was just probably translated by a Spaniard.

I was shocked by the review by a teacher saying that she tells her students that the word "naranja" is wrong. I would never tell my toddler that "anaranjado" is incorrect, even though we don't say it that way! It's just a proof of the diversity of the Spanish language. Shame on this teacher who says she uses "naranja" as an example of bad translation - and complains of seeing the mistake frequently. No wonder, since it is not a mistake. She should instead explain how different Spanish-speaking countries use different words, and all are correct.

"ANARANJADO" is the word I learned for the COLOR orange. "NARANJA" means the fruit, not the color. Confusing, since in English the color and the fruit are the same word! Other than that, a very cute early Spanish book!


5 out of 5 stars my 16 month olds favorite book!   June 18, 2007

My 16 month old LOVES this book. She has been bringing it to me for months asking me to read it 'with' her. she points at all the different things on each page and I tell her what it is and what colour it is. ex "that's a green grasshopper" or "he's painting the fence purple". It's a very colourful book for us to share together. And as a bonus we get to learn spanish colours too!
