Customer Reviews

A little boy invites his friends to his birthday party.

This book follows the format of the rest of the Barron's seriesby showing 1-2 sentences per page in both English and Spanish. Fornon-Spanish speakers there is a nice pronunciation guide for each word at the back of the book. Children as young as two will enjoy the universal appeal of a birthday party with balloons, cake and presents.

Great Book For Teaching Toddlers

I highly recommend this book to anyone who would like to teach French to a young child. The storyline could easily hold up as a regular storybook and the illustrations are great.I do find that the pronunciation guide would be a bit difficult for a non-French speaker to use and recommend this only if you have a bit of French yourself or access to someone who can help with pronunciation.

A Wonderful Book!

My toddler loves this book and so do I. The illustrations are beautiful and the general quality of this hardbound book is very high. The story is appealing to my daughter and the ability to read it both in French and in English has really helped her pick up some words in a non-formal way. This book makes a great bedtime story.
