(3) K-3 Photographs by Shmuel Thaler. This bilingual book explains the relationships among fractions, decimals, and percents. In a format particularly useful for visual learners, each well-chosen example faces a large, striking photo of the featured object, bordered by solid color bars. The Spanish translation is adequate, and the vocabulary used is simple enough to learn.
