This is the story of a year at a suburban metropolitan high school told in the form of a reader that could also be the script for a kind of reader's theater. The entire volume including vocabulary and illustrations is 70 handy seven by five inch pages. Fabian y Rosa get to know each other and go through the events of a school year that includes classes, sports, Christmas, cars tatoos, dances, and so on. Vocabulary is up-to-date and useful. The book is all in present tense. Students in beginning and multilevel classes will enjoy this engaging context builder that will make them want to use the Spanish they have learned.

Love this!!!!! Great sturdy toy with excellent educational value..

My daughter is in a spanish immersion kindergarten and this is very helpful with letter sounds, colors, etc in spanish. Also my three year old plays with it in both the spanish and english settings. It is made very well unlike a few other bilingual toys we have purchased.

I ordered this for my 3 yr old for Christmas. It was projected that it might not make it time for Christmas, but it arrived in plenty of time. This toy has 4 different games, in 2 languages, so there's actually 8 options. Each game builds on what they learn from the previous level, so my daughter won't outgrow this toy for at least a couple years. Great way to teach or learn basic spanish with your kids.

Honest reviews on Kidz Delight Bilingual Light N Sound Phonics, Blue

My daughter got this when she was about a year and a half. She never really found any interest in it. Now that she's 3, I'll sit with her, to show her her letters and colors..etc (we are a bilingual family) so I thought it would be a good learning tool. But eh, it's okay. It's just not really all that I thought it would be.

This toy is a lot of fun for my son. He shakes it to music, bangs it like a drum, and carries it around. He hits it with other toys and so far it has not suffered any damage.

However, this seller is charging AS MUCH for this toy as I paid for a 6-piece set. Buyer beware and shop around for prices. I bought the Edushape Baby's 1st Birthday music set, which came with 5 instruments (including this drum) and a CD for $20 on sale. The regular price was $25. I dont know why this seller is getting away with selling one piece from that set for $20!!!

I bought this drum for my 1 year old to pound on. It has lasted a few months. I am not sure if she sat on it or it was stepped on, or if was simply leaned on, but the siding is a thin piece of decorated cardboard that is woven together at the seams. The top and bottom fit into grooves in the plastic pieces. No adhesive or anything holds it together. The siding has crinkled and collapsed beyond straightening out and the cardboard has come out of the grooves. I have seen other reviews that mention this product should last forever. I doubt it. The sound is great, the rest of the toy is great, but it is held together with cardboard. Junk.

This drum is perfect for the under-5 child who wants to have fun banging on a drum while marching around the house. It is not a true musical instrument for the budding Neil Peart drummer virtuoso in your family. It is durable, as both of our under-5 boys not only bang on it, but they also stand on it, sling it around the house, and play on it. Also, the rope that holds it around the child's neck has a plastic disconnector so it won't choke our sons nor hurt their necks.

Honest reviews on Drum Musical Toy

Great drum for a 2year old. My grandson is very active and has even attempted to stand on top of the drum and it is still perfect. When you think drum, you think loud; but, not the case. I love the break-away strap (the strap that goes around his neck), sometimes it breaks away too easily, but ; better safe than sorry. :) I read the reviews on this item prior to purchasing and noticed that a couple of people complained about the drumsticks that came with the drum. So I purchased a separate pair of drumsticks when I purchased the drum and I'm glad I did. He definitely liked those drumsticks a lot better than the drumsticks that came with the drum. Overall a great product and I would definitely recommend.

As for leaving a 5 star rating....that's based on how the order was handled. Shipping was very quick and price was very reasonable, the best actually..should have bought both that were offered at the time..As for the item itself..these are all built pretty much the same,

Once the top strips out.. you are in trouble, so .you must always take care as to not to apply to much pressure on the eyepiece. All in all, they do last some time, my first is still usable even with it being stripped..I just use an over sized rubber band to apply pressure down on the eyepiece. I would say if you do a lot of this type of photography..you should always have 2.

I recently purchased this table for my 2 year-old son for Christmas. I was amazed at the quailty and ease of assembly! I was expecting a nightmare and was pleasantly surprised!

This table comes with metal brackets already secured on the base pieces by screws and glue. These metal brackets fit together and along with the cross beam and table top make an extremely strong table! No washers, screws, or even tools! It was together in less than 5 minutes in fact, getting the pieces out of the box was harder than assembly!

This table is extremely well packaged. Each part is wrapped with a foam wrap, then all parts that could cause damage to other wood parts (like the metal brackets) are covered in thick cardboard to prevent any damage or bending of the brackets.

The table is beautiful a great honey color that goes perfectly with my son's room. As of 11-5-06 Amazon did not have the correct picture of this table the color was for the natural table, not the honey table. If you do a google search first, several images will come up of the honey table. Also, the KidKraft Construction City Train Set is pictured with the honey table and trundles.

The train table top is engaging, and well thought out, providing many places for your vehicles to travel and avoid (like the painted lake)! The top is thick, and hard to scratch up. After several months of use, there are only minor surface scratches, nothing beyond the paint and that's with my 2 year-old banging his trains and trucks on it hours each day!

I love KidKraft's quality products, and this product is no execption. I firmly believe you get what you pay for, and this is a great example! Great quality, great value!

PSif you are looking for storage for all of those trains, check out the honey trundles that accompany this table (pictured with the table)they fit right under with casters, so they roll away for easy , large, storage two of them are as large as the table!

We bought this table for our 2 year old for his birthday, and he loves it. A big plus is that it is compatible with wooden Thomas and Friends trains, just be aware that it is "mostly compatible" the magnets for the Thomas cars/engines are stronger, and they don't handle the hills with as much ease. This can lead to tragic derailments with large trains going down hills, but I suppose that can teach future railroad engineers a lesson about loading beyond capacity. Also, there is no way to line up the parts that involve water (bridge and waterfall) with the water printed on the table you have to decide whether the waterfall or the bridge goes over the main body of water, but not both. These are minor gripes though, and overall it's a fun toy that our son loves.

Best Deals for KidKraft Waterfall Mountain Train Set and Table

OK, I was very hesitant about ordering this item as it seemed too good to be true. We had been to the big box stores and they have all the brand name Thomas sets and if you enjoy nice packaging and the idea of spending big bucks for tiny sets, read no further and waste your money at the local retailer. However, if you want a great train set and a table to keep everything elevated and organized, this deal is too good to pass up. Package came via UPS free shipping; no tax (depends where you live); box was in tact and in good shape. Table was easy to assemble less than 30 minutes. Instructions are clear and easy to understand and illustrate every step. I was so pleased with the table, I figured the train set would be lacking in some way just the opposite. All the track pieces are uniform and fit together well. Some of the town pieces (helipad & crane) require assembly, but are easy as well. The whole time I was putting this together and setting it up, I was thinking how much our little boy will love this set. He is only 2 but he is very careful with his toys. Set says ages 3 and up you will have to use your own judgement. I will most likely scale down the number of pieces I let him play with and give him more as time passes. This will keep his interest peaked and also help to avoid lost pieces.

Honest reviews on KidKraft Waterfall Mountain Train Set and Table

Many of the reviews listed under this item have got to be for the wrong set. So many of them clearly don't apply to it. This does come in natural, not honey as one reviewer stated. It is very sturdy and screws together with very long, very fat screws that screw into a metal cap to keep them in place. The screws even have the outside 1/3 painted the same color as the table to make them blend in nicely. All the edges are nicely rounded.

At first I was put off by the three cheesy looking plastic bins that came with the table. I had specifically emailed the seller and asked if it came with the trundle drawers and was told yes. I was expecting the large wooden drawers. However, these plastic bins hang on rods under the table, keeping them off the floor and out of the way. They also leave enough room for my son's wooden Thomas train caddy under the table as well. I've decided they are better than the wood drawers, although I wouldn't have chosen them.

The train set is really amazing and more than I expected. It is much higher quality than the Melissa & Doug set I purchased. It put together easily and the elevated bits are well-designed to keep the tracks together instead of falling apart like the M&D and Thomas ones do. The supports for the elevated track keep the tracks together, and the bridges have a small platform at their edges to hold the adjacent track up. The elevations are really smooth--my son loves giving the train a push and having it roll down the elevation and a bit more on the flat track.

My two issues with the tracks are:

1) It doesn't match the printed landscape on the table. I found it impossible to not have tracks going into water and over the road. I also couldn't get the road crossing piece to match up with the road. I wound up turning over the boards and using the plain side instead.

2) The waterfall bottom tunnel opening doesn't line up well with the track. Thomas trains are too big to go through this tunnel without getting stuck because the track is too close to the left edge of the tunnel on one side and the right edge on the other side. I'm considering gluing something to the bottom of the waterfall to raise it a bit and give more room for the trains. In the set's defense, the included trains are significantly smaller than Thomas trains and probably fit through without a problem. The top tunnel in the waterfall works perfectly with Thomas trains.

The variety of extra pieces is mind-boggling. You get cars, trucks, a steam-roller, an airport with helipad, a helicopter, an airplane, a runway, a crane with girders that can be hooked and un-hooked, one-dimensional police station, fire station and hospital, a boat, trees, people and lots of signs.

I know I'm reviewing the right product because I bought it from this very page. Be wary of reviews saying this isn't sturdy or has available wooden trundle drawers as they are the wrong product.

We really like this table. The train portion of the table has a good picture. You can flip the boards to plain wood--we've done that to convert to a lego/art table. The drawers underneath, when full of trains etc., are too heavy for the slats and will fall. Then again, we have a lot of train track. The track and trains/toys that come with this set were not up to par. The mountain is cheap and some real Thomas trains have trouble going through. Our airport didn't come with screws (and I'm sure KidKraft would have sent new ones, but we didn't take the time). The bridge, gas station, helicopter, and crane broke within six months. We didn't mind too much since we had other stuff to replace it with, but if this were my only set, I would have been disappointed. The trains were really cheap.

So, the table/is still great. The track works. We like it overall, but then there's all that other stuff to consider.

This is one of the coolest manipulative toys for education that I have ever seen. I worked with the PTA of the elementary school that my daughter attended and if I had known about this product back then I would have recommended that the PTA purchase some of them for the early classes.

They are thin sticks approximately six inches long that can be bent into shapes and then restored. What sets them apart from pipe cleaners is that they stick to nearly all surfaces. When I read that characteristic in the documentation, I tried sticking them to nearly everything in my home office, the only surface that was questionable was the plastic case of my monitor.

The package also contains a set of thick paper panels containing the numbers one through twenty with the goal being that the student will bend the stix into the shape(s) of the number. This will also teach manual dexterity while the knowledge of small numbers is being absorbed. Their flexibility will also allow them to be used in simple constructions of two and three-dimensional shapes. There is no better way to understand shapes than to create them using your hands. The stix are also completely safe, they contain a food-grade non-toxic wax and no latex or nut products. Parents that want to give their children educational toys and leaders of scout troops will also find them very valuable in teaching the children. Bulk packages of the stix and a large number of posters are available.

This set of magnetic letters is colorful and comes in a nice container with a handle that can easily be carried around by a toddler. All the letters stay in place on the refrigerator door, except for letter "M," that continuously slides down because of the positioning of the magnet. Interestingly enough, there is no problem with "W," it's inverse. The problem occurs with all the "M's" in the set. Aside from this, it's a nice set and a good value.

The day I bought these magnets, I immediately had my daughter help me put them on the fridge. She can't spell yet, but she understands that they're letters and she has a blast with these. There are plenty of letters, so it's easy to spell lots of different words. I only have a few complaints:

As other reviewers have stated, the magnets are a little weak. The M's in particular don't always stay well--we have to get them at the perfect angle so they won't slide down.

Even with multiples of many common letters, those multiples are only of one or two colors. It'd be nice, for instance, if all the E's weren't green and red, but rather one of each color since there are 5 of them. Not a big deal, but it would still be nice.
