Just Look'N Learn is an informative and fun German picture dictionary. This children's non-fiction is inviting and accurate with over 1,500 basic words. While perfect for boys and girls, it is a great resource for all ages. It is organized in alphabetical order using an appropriate English vocabulary, and amusing colorful cartoon illustrations which enhance each word. Each entry also has a simple, clear sentence in German and English demonstrating how the word is used. Other sections include learning to count, tell time, and teach days, months, shapes, and directions. At the end is a useful German-English word index. The book is also perfect for youth because its' highly visual design allows children to either jump around the book or just read straight through. A great way to get a first look at the German language

Simple and colorful illustrations with easy-to-understand, complete sentences for use by any age beginner. Appendices include numbers, days of the week, months of the year, shapes, directions, time, irregular English (but not German) verbs, nouns, and adjectives. German equivalents of the irregular forms would be useful. German index is quick guide for building vocabulary.

well i like this book a lot. Before buying german picture dict, i went to my local library to look at different kids picture dictionaries. Some of dictionaries had real ART picturies, sometimes it was hard to guess what is really on pictures.

I do not appreciate art in kids books, kids are kids, they learn how things look too, so as you may guess i have chosen book with nice, real looking pict and vivid colors. i like also that this book has 1500 words, thats more than average kids pict dict.

From beginnig you can learn: words (with pictures) in english alphabetical order,(With every word there is also written one sentence in english and german, which is nice too), numbers, days of the week, months of the year, shapes, compass directions, time, some irregular english words (verbs, nouns, adjectives), there is also index to the german words.

There is nothing about pronunciation, so if u are begginner, you may have to learn it somewhere else. I used to learn german many years ago, for me pronunciation was not a problem. but without practice i forgot most of words and grammar. I bougth it for me (to learn german AND english) and for my daughter (3 years) to show her pictures and teach her (for now) english words.

Only thing i really don like about this book is amazon price. Because i saw this book before buying (from library) i saw the price printed on back cover. Printed price was $11.95. I was surprised by amazon price, i thought i maybe borrowed from library older cheaper copy. i checked publication year and it was 1997. i ordered from seller because he gave me very good price. I received my book, same publication year 1997, same $11.95. This book is really great, but because of its price on amazon, you may want to buy it somewhere else.
