We are making uo a sign for our Casa and not sure of the correct Spanish language,should it be Casita de Poco Oso or Casita de Oso Poco.

Thanks

What do you want it to say (English)? Sounds like the Little Bear's Shack? Poco is a 'small quantity' more than small in size, like chica or chiquita... The Spanish speakers here will have the right term, I am sure...

If you're trying to say little bear, it's osito, but casita del osito- the little bear's little house, is a bit redundant, no? Little Bear's House would be Casa de Osito or simply Casa Osito, or in slang "Ca' Osito. Capitalization and use of de or del depends on whether it's a generic little bear or Little Bear as someone's name.

Kate -

Don't know if that's what he meant, but most definitely I like your take on it... just the right size.
Next time we're in La Paz at the same time, how's about we get together for a margarita/cerveza/iced tea/or (ugh!) clamato?!
