Puppy Finds a Friend: Le Petit Chien Se Trouve Un Ami (I Can Read French) (English and French Edition)
PreSchool-Grade 2-Two short stories designed to introduce French to English-speaking children. The simple text is given in both languages. The books include suggestions for parents and teachers on effectively using this material; each one also has a picture dictionary and pronunciation guide. The stories are innocuous and the color illustrations pleasant. However, despite a disclaimer that the pronunciations "cannot be completely accurate," many are so blatantly incorrect that no French speaker would possibly understand them. Children deserve more reliable material.Ann W. Moore, Schenectady County Public Library, NYCopyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
