This book has some information on basic vocabulary for a few languages. I was hoping to get more cultural information as well. I bought this for the World Exploratory Language class I teach, but it really includes basic greetings, numbers, etc. Certainly if that's what you're looking for, great, but I can't imagine teaching the same thing 6 times over. I will have to keep looking for a different resource.
Good comparative book for kids
