Best Spanish baby books

It’s never too late to learn Spanish, but it is definitely easier the earlier you start. If you give your child a leg up by reading to them in Spanish from a young age, they will have a clear advantage over their classmates later on. Bilingual board books are a great way to introduce this early Spanish immersion to your child (and you might be able to dust off your dormant Spanish skills while you’re at it!)

Here is our collection of the best Spanish board books for babies and toddlers. If it made it on this list, it’s one of the books that your kids will be asking for time and time again – but that won’t be a drudgery for the parents to read, too. After all, the more you enjoy reading the story to your kids, the more they will get out of it.

Frequently asked questions about Spanish children’s books

Can kids learn Spanish from books?

Yes, although you can’t just sit them in front of a book and expect them to get anything out of it. Interactive engagement is crucial. You need to read them the story while pointing at the visuals, acting out the motions, and spending some time talking about the action. Over time, they will absorb the other language. Plus, they are not only a great help with learning the language, but Spanish books also give them something identifiable.

A helpful tip: to help your little ones learn Spanish faster, give them access to Spanish via multiple mediums. In other words expose them to the language via books as well as various other ways: tell stories verbally, play games, sing songs, and play music in Spanish.
