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.

I'm learning Italian, and checked this book out for myself, more than my children. I love the layout, I love the pictures, I love everything about this book. It's easy to absorb, easy to find things, It's great. Very thorough, and easy to find words you are looking for. I was loathe to return it to the library, but so excited to see it on Amazon. Now it can be mine. Hurray!

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.

This book outlines logical groups of items we want to learn. If you'd like to find out what a pot is called, look in the Kitchen. A towel, look in the bathroom. It's great to have a little section of the world to learn each time we open the book, and we don't have to look alphabetically for words. Great for every age. My husband and I are committed to learning Italian because of our heritage, and we'd love to have our kids (5 & 2) grow up bi-lingual! Illustrations are great too!

I am taking Italian for the first time and have used this book alot to supplement our classwork - we have to write sentences on a topic and this book is broken out into topics - clothing, on a farm, in a hospital.... Great dictionary in the back and fun for my kids to look at, too!

I travel to New York City in february 2009 and visit two of the biggest library stores in Manhattan and they could not sell me any book for children in Italian language. Back in Lima-Perú where me and my family lives, tried through amazon web page and found this amazing book for children in pre-school age, bought it online and my brother who where in the United States visit some friends could give it back to me.
Is a wonderfull way to teach children two foreign languages at the same time.
Thanks,

My husband is fluent in Italian and my son is starting to say a lot of Italian words. We got this to help him learn more words. There are A LOT of words! It's not very engaging for a toddler because there are so many words on a page. This will be a great book for when he is older.

Lots of words, but not to crazy about the pictures. Each page has one large picture or scene and the images are somewhat overlapping and hard to distinguish. Then down the side of the page, there are the dictionary words describing what is in the scene. Then, next to each word is a smaller isolated image of the item/person/action that is in the bigger scene picture. But the images are so small that it is hard at times to distinguish what they are. For example a picture of a knight, has the shape of a person, but it is hard to see the details of what makes the image a knight. This book is not really fun to look at and causes some confusion and each page is a bit overwhelming.

This book is a great resource at any level. It has pictures/words categorized and includes the latest computer/electronic terms. For the price - it's a steal. Covers beginning to advanced. Both my 31-month old granddaughter can use this (point to the picture, say the italian word), as well as my Italian wife (looking up new terms that didn't exist when she was a kid). A "must have" for any age if learning Italian.

Books in perfect condition, it is fun and easy to read,I bought this book for my seven year old son and five year old nephew, we are all heading to Rome for the Thanksgiving holiday, The words and pictures are great for a family to learn Italian. All ages from Grandparents teens and even toddlers would love this book!
