5.0 out of 5 stars great way fun way to expose your children to Italian., August 28, 2004

This review is from: Italian Picture Dictionary (Let's Learn...Picture Dictionary) (Hardcover)

Our kids love this book! The pictures in this book grabbed their attention. It's a fun way to put the English words to Italian words. And if you don't know how to say a word, you can look in the Glossary and it will tell you how to say it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for all ages, September 6, 2008

By	Carolyn F. Wyrwas "cmomteach" (Fort Belvoir, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I ordered this book and an audio cd program. The cd program was for a much younger child, but he was able to go through the dictionary and learn some words on his own while I look for another age appropriate audio program.

2.0 out of 5 stars Okay, September 5, 2008

It is a little cumbersome - more of a reference rather than a enjoyable learning book. Probably would not purchase it if I had it to do over again....
