A fun way to introduce some French vocabulary. The illustrations are fair but clear. Each page has a picture with a word or words and the whole is in alphabetical order. The quality of the paper is high, firm and white - better than most coloring books.

I'm still looking for a preschool/1st grade level coloring workbook but this is fine for what it is.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good addition to Flip Flop French, September 10, 2007

This review is from: Let's Learn French Coloring Book (Let's Learn Coloring Books) (Paperback)

I use this as a supplement to Flip Flop French (Yes, I'm a coauthor of it) - we do a lesson a day (I'm bilingual, but Spanish/English, no French!) and my two year old, who isn't QUITE ready for the Flip Flop lessons, colors in this book. As she colors, she says the French word. So she gets to add to our lesson, and is most likely absorbing the Flip Flop French lesson as well. The boys, ages 4 and 5, don't like coloring as much, so they are content to have their workbooks, and this is an inexpensive addition so we can all do French together. Nice!
