5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Language Learning 2, April 8, 2008

This review is from: A Boy, a Dog, a Frog, and a Friend (Boy, Dog, Frog) (Paperback)

This continuation of Mayer' series allows a language learner to continue to develop basic storytelling skills in the target language. It has new additions to the plot that facilitate further vocabulary development while providing many opportunities to use familiar vocabulary in new ways. This is particularly useful for advancing and learning grammatical structures through practice.

Mercer Mayer's series of books are not only great for Children who are beginning to speak, they are also fantastic tools for language learning. Wordless books allow a language learner and their language helper to learn vocabulary and construct stories together in the target language. It is great for vocabulary consolidation, grammar development, and the development of storytelling skills.

5.0 out of 5 stars love these books, October 21, 2006

This review is from: A Boy, a Dog, a Frog, and a Friend (Boy, Dog, Frog) (Hardcover)

i grew up with these books. When i was a child my mom would take me to the library and i could not wait to get them. Every week i would come home and look at the pictures and tell my own stories and even come up with new adventures for the boy and his frog. i can not wait for my son and daughter to open them up and begin their imagination adventure. THe pictures are so cute the trouble that frog gets into with the boy is too funny. For children with great imaginations and love to read but can't yet on their own let the adventures begin.

My son loved this book and the entire series. He was too busy for a book with words. I bought it for a friend's grandson who is also busy. It is a wonderful, wonderful book. And shows that a picture can say so much.
