Always liked the Usborne beginners' dictionaries... this one's no different

I haven't tried the internet-linking for more info that's advertised with this book, since those things tend to go out of date or be removed, anyway, but I liked that this was a "Latin American" edition versus the more formal Spanish that's Euro-centric. There's a bit less formality from what I remember my first Spanish teacher telling me, and it won't sound so strange when talking to folks from Mexico or any other Latin American country.

The scenes and word bubbles are helpful as ever. This is a good resource for an absolute beginner, but by no means all encompassing. I'd say it's a great start for a kid who might've heard a word in Spanish here or there, but doesn't really know anything about it. I brought it with me to work to help me out with some words, but it didn't have nearly enough. Good for kids, though.
