Still fun after all these months.
My daughter, age 4, has been enjoying this book since we received it eight months ago. Each page introduces a new theme: the kitchen, travel, the park, etc. Large, colorful drawings show how objects are used and relate to one another. Each theme has a variety of smaller pictures and stickers to teach individual words. My daugher often chose to work with the sticker book at reading time, ...

Great book
We loved the Usborne Easy Spanish. Since my high school age girls were taking Spanish, but not really enjoying it much, we got this book as a supplement and to increase their interest in the Spanish language. It worked, and they are really enjoying going through the book. The illustrated story (cartoon style) gives them skills while making it fun. Great book.

First 100 Words in French
This is a delightful book! The pictures are darling, and the selection of basic vocabulary words is perfect for a young reader learning a new language. I especially like the pronunciation guide in back of the book. It can really help parents/caregivers along in correct pronunciation. There's also a little "find the duck" game on each page that adds to the fun. If you're interested in ...

Nifty Little Book
This book is a great introduction to French, teaches basic grammar, and keeps you entertained the whole time. The story you read while learning is in comic form, with clear pictures to help you understand what's going on. If you don't remember a word in the text, there's a translation of the dialogue in English and a dictionary in the back. Also has internet links to practice. I also ...

Fun, Friendly, and Factual
Tired of boring and bland spanish tools? This book is bursting with vivid, whimsical, illustrations depicting everyday life with humor and clarity that will attract even beginning adult students. The apealing story type pictures not only define spanish words, but they also promote spanish interaction between reader and child or student with student. On "la cocina" page, a father washes dises ...

Very good
This is a good book. It goes past the basics and uses cartoons with it, though I may not suggest it for very young kids. And using this book probably will help you with your English.
