10 Spanish-Language Children's Books Your Kids Will Want to Read With You

Teaching my baby girl about nature will be uniquely exciting with La Naturaleza ($22), which invites her to learn about la rana, el río, and el pájaro and listen to their sweet melodies. Learning about nature and wildlife through interactive sound effects will help awaken her curiosity about the earth's many wonders.

Los Instrumentos del Mundo ($22), written by the author of La Naturaleza, introduces kids to a variety of instruments with the accompanying sounds of each. It offers a wonderful opportunity to teach my daughter about the joy of music.

Bilingual book Contando con Frida ($10) will help me teach my daughter how to count in both English and Spanish à la Frida Kahlo. With this book from Lil' Libros, she'll learn two things at once: Spanish and about one of the world's most prominent Mexican painters. I already plan on getting her the rest of the collection, which includes books on El Chavo, Celia Cruz, Selena, Cantinflas, and many more.

Buenas Noches ($35) is a bedtime storybook that can be personalized with your child's name, which makes it extra special for little ones. I look forward to reading bedtime stories to my mini-me as a way to relax and create the right conditions for some sweet dreams. Hasta mañana!

They say you can't go wrong with the classics and this book of cuentos is no exception. It chronicles the lives and adventures of some of the most memorable characters in children's literature — from La Caperucita Roja to La Cenicienta. Rediscover cuentos magicos that will charm and enlighten your little reader with 365 Cuentos Clásicos, Rimas y Otras Historias ($13).

This interactive Habbi Habbi Starter Set ($110) includes a reading wand and five books that introduce tiny learners to first words and phrases. By tapping on an image or set of words, they'll hear new phrases, sounds, and music, making learning entertaining and fun.

As a first-time mom, this sweet book makes me a little emotional. Hija ($15) depicts a mother and father, lovingly telling their daughter what she can expect from life every step of the way. It teaches parents as much as children to appreciate the little things and not rush life's more special moments.

Teaching my daughter about self-love is as valuable to me as teaching her about the importance of showing love and compassion to others. This cute little book, ¡Me Gusta Cómo Soy! ($6), is a bilingual gem for that reason. I plan to read it to her regularly, like a mantra I hope she'll never forget.

I grew up with the English version of Oso Pardo, Oso Pardo, ¿Qué Ves Ahí? ($9), but I plan to have the Spanish edition in my child's library. The illustrations are as bright and vivid as I remember them, and I hope she enjoys the music of the language— "brown bear, brown bear, what do you see?"—as much as I did when I was a kid.

Our abuelitas always hold a special place in our hearts, which is why I love ¡Qué Cosas Dice Mi Abuela! ($4). Through the narrator's grandmother, the book teaches young readers about manners and traditional Spanish-language sayings. The Mexican phrases my grandmother shared with me throughout my childhood are deeply instilled in me and I plan to share them with my daughter one day.
