What Shall We Do with the Boo Hoo Baby?

As a dual text, this version in Spanish and English is a little confusing on the eye. Different fonts have been used to distinguish the two languages, which is helpful, but then there seem to be four different sizes of print on some of the double page spreads – pictures and text go across these. The overall layout of text, making use of space available around the illustrations, is not very easy to follow in one language or the other, particularly for very young children. The animals feed, bathe, play with baby to stop him crying; in the end he falls asleep by himself in his cot. Not a particularly satisfying read. (Available in 21 dual language editions.)
