Bosley Sees the World: A Dual Language Book in Spanish and English by Tim Johnson

A Duel-language book for kids! I loved the concept. It is both well- written and well- illustrated. The illustrations by Ozzy Esha are crisp, colorful, and well- drawn. What a delightful idea! I learned words in Spanish and this book made it so easy to pick up. The exact phrases are written in English and Spanish and the highlighted word is in red text.

It was repeate A Duel-language book for kids! It reminded me of the method of teaching used by the Rosetta Stone. Learning a language naturally in the flow of a story or sentence is the easiest and most natural way of retaining what is learned. The story itself is delightful. A curious bear on an adventure would capture the interest of any child. I applaud this author and his wonderful outreach to teach our children.

Translator Orlando Soto has done a masterful job, making each reading easy to follow. I highly recommend this work and plan to buy copies in the different languages for my grandson.

I especially like that there are the same words and simple phrases, opposites, highlighted words, contextual learning, and corresponding imagery on the page in both English and the foreign language. I also enjoyed the colorful pictures in this book. The book is a simple story about a bear who goes on a journey to climb a mountain and realizes there is much more of the world to see.

Also a great story to make a collection of stories with new words for kids to learn. There is also a glossary in the back of the book that goes over the new words in English and the foreign language again to repeat the words just learned in the book. Hopefully there will be many more adventures from Bosley the bear. Nov 29, Gma Adkinson rated it it was amazing Shelves: Tim Johnson has done a marvelous thing!

The illustrations are simple, engaging, and compliment the adventure that Bosley Bear takes you and your child on. This book is easy to read and understand. Nov 04, Emily Boivin rated it it was amazing. I am so proud to have my name on the Arabic version. I loved the idea and my daughter benefited from having two scripts on a page. Mar 16, Grampy rated it it was amazing. This book was reviewed by Lee Ashford for Readers' Favorite.

The basic storyline is about a young bear named Bosley who becomes disenchanted with the small size of his cave home. He declares to his mother that he is going outside to explore the nearby forest. From there he climbs a tree, from which he sees a river and a mountain. He next decides to climb the mountain, from which he sees so much more of the world than he ever realized existed, even seeing his tiny cave opening from atop the mountain.

This book is more than just a story. It includes a cross-reference glossary of new English and Spanish words and their meanings; a brief history of how Tim Johnson got the idea for this book during a visit to Japan in his teen years; and the website where you can see and purchase many dozens of additional books in at least 11 languages, including sign language. Johnson wanted a way to introduce new cultures to the next generation, as well as introduce them to new languages. The Bosley Bear story is now available in at least 8 languages.

I cannot be more resolute about recommending this book and this website www. As our world continues to shrink through the advent of new technology and a more global economy, the significance of being conversant in multiple languages cannot be overstated. Youth who are exposed at a very young age will hold a valuable advantage over their peers as they continue to develop their educational skills throughout their lives. I admit this is an idea that could make this wonderful author a big name in language instruction, at a cursory level.

The aim of the book is not to get the kids to be fluent overnight, but rather to expose them through play - through wonderful illustrations and storytelling. I can see parents buying five of the same story, but in Spanish, German, French, and so on, so the kids learn how there are so many languages, even though there is one story. This could become a cottage industry for the auth I admit this is an idea that could make this wonderful author a big name in language instruction, at a cursory level. This could become a cottage industry for the author!

The highlighting of certain words in green is an excellent idea.

Buy for others

German, to me as being unfamiliar with it, is so different from English that I would have had trouble matching any words. The green highlighting matches the words perfectly while not doing too many so as to frustrate the learning otherwise. The only two things I would suggest to improve for a five-star review are as follows and who knows, by the time you read this, they may have been fixed! Even if it were in print format, it might still be a bit hard to read. Would be best to separate out on different pages. One additional illustration elsewhere in the book is only half its normal size and the other half is blank space.

This would confirm my learning and reinforce it, especially for children. As said, the concept is very solid. May 05, Judy Pierce rated it it was amazing.
