Titles of books, projects, etc. in spanish.

Question

¡Hola a todos! For a final project in one of my spanish classes this semester I am attempting to make a children's book for my nephew. I am going to call it "los animales fascinantes de Sudamérica". I was wondering about capitalization rules for titles in Spanish. Should I keep the title I already have? Should I capitalize it : Los Animales Fascinantes de Sudamérica? Should I capitalize just Los. Im not sure since as I have never faced this problem before. Mil gracias y espero que todo el mundo tenga un buen día de acción de gracias.

Answer 1

You must capitalize Los and Sudamérica.

And nothing else? Thanks for your fast response. - pescador1, Nov 19, 2010

Answer 2

"Los Animales Fascinantes de Sudamérica" is correct. "Los" is only capitalized here because it is the first word.

However, in some title publications you see nothing capitalized except the first word and any proper name.
