Use of 'y' between adjectives

[tmember]

My book says:

Su perro tiene una nariz pequeña y negra.
His dog has a little black nose.

Is it correct to use 'y' in this sentence?

Sure, it's totally correct. It's very rare for grammar books to be wrong but questioning it shows you're understanding the language

I appreciate your kind response. At this moment I am sad.... I bought an expensive book from Amazon just published this year and it has no reviews yet. It looked very good and is also bilingual so I bought it. But it seems from the very first chapter to have many errors in it.

It's called "First Spanish Reader for Beginners". Would you mind if I type one paragraph from it for you to translate so I can compare your translation to the English translation in the book?

Sure, you can do that. I've never heard of that book but then again I'm not much of a book person. Go ahead and post it up.

And chileno, I see your point, but the sentence isn't "wrong". It isn't like grammatically incorrect, it just doesn't sound well.

Maybe a comma would do the "trick"?

His dog has a little, and black nose.

You buy the books from internet, then I guess that you have a kind to book that I can download from internet, or at least you could to have the idea where I can download ones.

I have ones book in English the book's name is the second language of my life all the book wrote in English, but they aren't translation in Spanish and well just sometimes I don't understand everything it say.

I hope your answer soon.

In essence is correct...

Consider:

His dog has a little black nose - Su perro tiene una pequeña nariz negra.

His dog has a little and black nose.

Man.
It's necessary to add the and in the phrase, I mean it is a rule in English.

His god has a little back nose.

Tmenber.

The book has a lot of errors in the writing.
Can you give me the download's link please?

It actually isn't. You can say "his dog has a little, black nose" or "his dog has a little and black nose"

No, it's not a rule in English that you have to have an "and" between little and black. It's common to say, "The dog has a little black nose", it is not at all common to say, "The dog has a little and black nose.
