5.0 out of 5 stars Still fun after all these months., November 29, 1999

a Mom (Austin, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: First Thousand Words in French Sticker Book (Picture Word Books Series) (Paperback)

My daughter, age 4, has been enjoying this book since we received it eight months ago. Each page introduces a new theme: the kitchen, travel, the park, etc. Large, colorful drawings show how objects are used and relate to one another. Each theme has a variety of smaller pictures and stickers to teach individual words. My daugher often chose to work with the sticker book at reading time, and even though she has completed all the pages, still finds the book fascinating. I can only hope for a "Second Thousand Words in French" as a follow-up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly Helpful..., July 25, 2001

Jay "starcloud99" (United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Usborne First Thousand Words in French (First Picture Book) (Hardcover)

This book is incredibly helpful from children ages 6 all the way up to adults. You can be in French 1 in high school or AP French in college. No matter which way you go, this book helps you review for all the common French words that no tourist should be without. What's that word for watermelon? How about bathroom? Oh, dang, I forgot how to say tooth! Well, just review the pages of this book and its cute little pictures, and you'll remember in no time. It's also great if you're trying to teach young children their 2nd language, which I recommend, because children learn easier. This book will be fun for them, and for you to brush up on your French!

This review is from: First Thousand Words in French Sticker Book (Picture Word Books Series) (Paperback)

This sticker book is comprehensive and fun for all ages (my daughter age 12 - enjoyed it). The book includes a full glossary/dictionary of all the words in the book with a pronunciation guide. All the words include feminine or masculine articles. The stickers help reinforce the learning.
