This is an interesting book for an older child who has already been exposed to French. I'd hoped it could help engage my daughter who is just starting out, but you need to interpret and spell words to play the games and do the puzzles.
The set-up for this book is pretty good--it has a lot of nice activities, puzzles, and such for kids to practice what they have learned in each section. I wasn't crazy about the order of the information, but if you are going to pick and choose the order in which the activities are done and the information is learned, it is a good choice for starting out teaching your child French, as long as you have supplemental things for them to do. This definitely is only a starter book for brand new learners or young children to increase and practice basic vocabulary.
I'm a nineteen year old college student who had a book from this 'series' all about science as a kid, and it was amazing. I decided to buy one of these to help with my French, as the activities in this book were similar to activities in my beginners French course. Despite being much further ahead than some of the content in the book, it's a great way to refresh myself on the dos and do nots with the basic words and phrases.They've been very helpful and I'll be giving a copy of this book to my former French teacher to share with her students. The answer key in back makes this that much better for the buy. Great buy and quick shipping!
I would have given this Kindle edition a 5 star rating, except that the glossary and puzzle solutions aren't in it! Even though they are listed in the Table of Contents, they are not actually in the Kindle edition. The book stops at the end of the last chapter, and that's it. So - I have to solve them myself and hope I'm right! Other than that - this book is perfect. Though I am an adult, it was recommended to me to use children's books to begin teaching myself French and it has been fabulous!
Wonderful kids' book for beginning french students. My 5-year-old enjoys it! We are using it as an adjunct to french lessons.
I'm not sure that I would recommend this book for everyone. It has a few bits of interesting French culture and vocab lists for early beginners. The order in which information is presented is a very logical flow. However, it does not provide and creative teaching ideas or usable activities. I might use it to supplement some vocab from the textbook in my French 1 course. Otherwise, I would really only recommend it to people that want to learn French at home, and have never taken any French before. A non-French-speaking parent could definitely benefit from this book.
Overall, it is just ok. I bought this for my 11 yr old grand-daughter who wants to learn French. The material in the book is appropriate for kids. My main objection is there is no Audio CD to help the child with pronunciation. I had to create my own CD to accompany the book so the child could hear approximately correct pronunciation. I had to refer to my own French dictionary frequently to ensure I was pronouncing the word correctly. There is no guide to pronunciation all in the book. This might be just my own pet peeve, but I think a guide to pronunciation should follow the IPA symbols used in a French dictionary. It is a mistake to think a young child can't unnderstand the IPA symbols. I object to the common practice of using English sounding words to help explain French pronunciation. Why not learn the French IPA symbols from the start and then you're prepared to look up any word in the dictionary and know how to pronounce it properly?
This book is an excellent way to review your French skills. I studied French last semester but forgot a fair amount as I stopped practicing. This book brought it back and made it stick. This isn't just a book for kids; It's useful for anyone who wants to either start learning or refresh their skills. And, it's more fun than a dry over-priced textbook.
