★★☆☆☆
Bad use of the verb "sentir" and small
I am disappointed with the book because I thought it was going to be about feelings, as in emotions, but it only has two feelings- sad and happy. The rest are states of being- such as hot, cold, thirsty, hungry, sleepy and silly. Plus, the verb sentir is not really used in Spanish to express all those. For example to say "I feel hungry" would be better said "Tengo hambre" rather than "Me siento con hambre", same with "tengo frío", "tengo calor" and "tengo sueño". Silly is a toss up, not quite an emotion, more of an adjective to qualify someone's personality. oh, well... The translation is literal, and that does not work the majority of the time. The book is also very small, with 8 words in it you are paying 50 cents per word, and the illustrations are not very exciting either. I'd say spend your money on another product.
