Good Children's books in Spanish

Question

I find children's books a good way to improve my comprehension and vocabulary. The illustrations are helpful, the vocabulary challenging but not impossible, and I don't get bogged down in long descriptive or philosophical passages.

It's hard to find children's books that are not dull or boring, though.

I came across this list of Newbery award winners that have been translated into Spanish, and I thought others might find it helpful.

Answer 1

Thanks Leslie! I was just at the library today looking for children's books in Spanish. I found a couple of very short books, but none that were in between an adult book or a young child's book. Thanks!
