learning vocabulary

This is a fun book and a really fun way to learn vocabulary. I purchased the book to use my daughter to learn vocabulary. I specifically purchased this book because the vocabulary is in French and so my daughter can't read the vocabulary words. That is exactly the point. She has to really look and learn what it is she is looking at and then describe the picture. A different way to use this book but one that has proven to help her successfully learn new vocabulary and descriptions. Her own creative descriptions.

Excellent for a child not for adult leaning French as second language

Excellent for a child not for adult leaning French as second language. There is a link to the publisher's web site for mp3 files for exact pronounciation. Very good.

A Favorite French Book for Little Friends

I often buy this book for children 6 years old and under. It was great twenty years ago even without stickers. A classic learning experience in the tradition of "Where's Waldo?"

Great for kids of all ages

This sticker book is comprehensive and fun for all ages (my daughter age 12 - enjoyed it). The book includes a full glossary/dictionary of all the words in the book with a pronunciation guide. All the words include feminine or masculine articles. The stickers help reinforce the learning.

Still fun after all these months.

My daughter, age 4, has been enjoying this book since we received it eight months ago. Each page introduces a new theme: the kitchen, travel, the park, etc. Large, colorful drawings show how objects are used and relate to one another. Each theme has a variety of smaller pictures and stickers to teach individual words. My daugher often chose to work with the sticker book at reading time, and even though she has completed all the pages, still finds the book fascinating. I can only hope for a "Second Thousand Words in French" as a follow-up.
