 Helps extend your knowledge October 4, 2008
Great book with traditional stories that give you an insight into South American culture through language. What's best about this book is that it also has target questions about each of the stories that help you to extend your understanding of the text. There are a variety of stories of different lengths which means it's not too daunting. A great buy- I was more than impressed
Me gusto mucho este libro! August 1, 2008
I found this book most helpful in reviewing my knowledge and understanding of Spanish. I could attempt to read the passages in Spanish and then seen if I had understood them correctly by then reading the English version. It is a wonderful resource for intermediate and advanced students of the Spanish language to help reinforce what they have learned, and also exposes non-native speakers to the rich Latino literary culture.
 bilingual parables May 23, 2008
I was hoping for something different. The parables are not i nteresting for high school kids. The stories are not laid out for best bilingual appreciation.
 Does what I bought it for. May 5, 2008
I bought this book to help me with my vocabulary and in learning some more slang and sentence structuring. It does all of that very well. But, if you are looking for "interesting" short stories, I would look elsewhere. I look forward to memorizing the new phrases that I have underlined in this book... really helpful.
well-organized February 27, 2008

The format is friendly for those trying to improve their Spanish. The stories are leveled, and the verb tenses vary in the stories. Besides its educational value, it's just plain fun as well.
