Customer Rating: Summary: Excellent book to read to children who have been exposed to the French language or who are French. Comment: I have spoken only French to my grandson since he was born and taken care of him two to three days a week. My husband does not speak French.
This having been said, Jackson has known what je t'aime means for most of his 18 months. He is extremely active but sat very still when I read this to him for the first time. I pointed to pictures or explained the meaning of the important words (those necessary) for understanding the story to him. Now it is one of his favorite books.
He relates best to books with children in them and I would like to see this rewritten using children in this or a different format. For older children this book is a 5 star one. Customer Rating: Summary: A great way to teach french to your little student Comment: We got this bok because we are trying to teach our 5 yr old some basic French. This book is great for questions and declarations and the repetitive nature of the ryhmes make it easy for the child to learn. Since she knew and loved the english version, this was a great way to learn some french.
I recomend this with Ours Brun, Dis-Moi (Brown Bear What Do You See), Bonsoir Lune (Goodnight Moon) and La Chenille Qui Fait Des Trous (The Very Hungry Caterpillar). These are books your child already know by heart and are a great way to introduce a second language to your young child.
