- Great book for beginners
I bought several books similar to this one, and this particular book is great if you are just starting. The sentances are short and most of the words and tenses are pretty simple in the beginning. The difficulty level progresses through the book, but still a good place to start if you don't know much spanish. Several of the other books were designed for people who have had more than a year of spanish.

- First Spanish Reader
Excellent resource for beginning to intermediate students of the Spanish Language. With Spanish and English versions on opposing pages it is easy to check your translation without the constant referral to a dictionary. In addition the stories, idioms and proverbs give you an insight into the culture.

- Excellent book for advanced beginner or low intermediate
Although the title says this is a book for beginners I would say it is better suited to the advanced beginner or low intermediate student. If you are a true beginner you will just spend a lot of time going back and forth between the English and the Spanish. Before taking on this book make sure you have at least the basic grammatical concepts down (conjugations of present tense verbs for example) and have mastered some vocabulary. That said, First Spanish Reader is a great book. The selected stories are interesting and the progression from basic verb tenses in the early stories to more complicated ones in the later stories is very effective. And of course the price is right.

I like the book and the stories. I bought it for my daughter to learn both languages(her English is sufficient) as we are not English nor Spanish native speakers. The only thing missing in the book is a simple table of Spanish pronunciation. That would be a great help for a beginner. Other than that, the book is very good!

- Not mainstream
I was very disappointed in this reader. The stories are all old fables with antiquated language...less helpful for the modern reader.

A few of these old stories are charming....but they soon lose their charm when you hit your ninth or tenth one.

I would recommend a more contemporary book that would suit the average taste....this one is not for everybody.
