5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful, April 20, 2006
While this book is geared towards children, I found it to be very helpful to me as a beginning French college student. I originally bought this mainly for it's pictures and dual translations as I'm a visual learner and because I've heard many foreign language audio programs that I didn't care for at all. This, however, is obviously done by a native speaker (and a good singer at that).

The audio and pronounciation is clear, making it easy to follow along with the text. The topics that are covered are everyday activities, making it easy to find ways to make use of what you learn in real life practice. Also, as the previous reviewer noted, the use of colloquial terms is also very helpful and useful.

As an experienced adult language learner, I feel that this will do well to improve not only my pronounciation, but my vocabulary as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Painless colloquial French, June 29, 2005
By C. McCloskey "Auntie C" (Bawlmer, Merlin, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was surprised at how much I liked this book. Most language books cover the basic, standard vocabulary in a set format. This one covers colloquial vocabulary that children learn, so you hear the endearments that parents use with their children and how roosters crow and the words for 'see-saw' and common phrases like 'Time to wake up!'. I can see myself using some of these phrases as ice-breakers in informal chats in my travels. Delightful!
I'll be looking for other works by these authors as they become available.

4.0 out of 5 stars Rich content with helpful vocabulary help, January 9, 2007
By K. Wan (Northbrook, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this for my 3-year-old girl who's going to a French immersion preschool. She loves it! She likes it when I read to her (I speak pretty fluent French) and she can figure out things by looking at the pictures. E.g., when I read a sentence and ask her in French what a certain object is, she'd point to a picture. She also likes to hear the CD. The book is colorful. The pictures and the English translation for the scripts are very helpful. My 7-year-old boy who doesn't speak French also likes to read with us and he'd read the English and I do the French part. I can tell the book is appealing for kids no matter what language it's in. I give 4 stars because I think they could have done better on the recording with more animation and variety in the tone, etc.
