 Excellent for review October 23, 2008

I took French over 10 years ago in high school and bought this book to refresh my French. It's helpful that the segments all build on one another and the dictionary in the back. Excellent book for those who need a refresher!
 Delightful - But Too Pricey August 25, 2008

This is an enjoyable beginner's French language reader. It's short and un-intimidating. The vocabulary develops naturally, incrementally with the story lines, in a way that builds confidence. 'Children's book' is an apt description of the characters and situations, but it doesn't cloy for an adult learning the language. The illustrations are a pleasure and useful because they support the text. Unfortunately this is a very pricey introduction to French at just less than sixty pages. It's as if the publishers tossed it into a very crowded market without much forethought. Better to have planned a series of these booklets to develop a following or as an incentive to adopt a packet of them in an educational setting.

Excellent. I highly recommend it to beginners (I am a French teacher). The book is unfortunately very thin, it's a booklet, and expensive.

Sometimes you read a book for learning and feel that you are in the hands of a true teacher. This is one of those books. The 27 stories are short simple and engaging. I came away with a consolidated confidence of what I had learned in my beginners French class.
Aimed perhaps at teenagers, it still hit the spot for me; a middle aged man. The vocabulary is good and repeated in different contexts, the vocab glossary is complete, and the pictures are engaging and provide clues to the content. Simple optional exercises consolidate learning.
I would recommend this as a 'fun activity' for personal learning or for a class context. The author has put a considered effort in the development of this book. Well Done, I want more!
good reading July 25, 2007

I'm a beginner learner and the way they present the story in the book is very amusing and quite easy, with a vocabulary list on the back and questions after each two- page "story". I'm glad I got it.
