Translation quality
Amazon is obviously a great place to find any books. More importantly, I've discovered that Amazon customer reviews of children's books in Spanish offer helpful comments about the quality of the translation. For example, I learned that "Green Eggs and Ham" had a really great translation, so I got it. It's not quite as great as the original, but the translation does manage to convey the spirit and keep most of the rhymes, which is quite a challenge! Sam I Am is Juan Ramon, as in "No me gustan los huevos verdes con jamon. No me gustan nada, Juan Ramon!"
