My First 100 Words In French And English (A Pull-the-Tab Language Book)

Summary: Good concept, needs better execution
Review: I like the concept of this book, but I think it tries to do too much and falters. The pull tabs add interest; my daughter says the English words and I say the French. But it isn't clear what age group is targeted -- the words seem too advanced for a 4 year old (for example, the first 2-page spread "the farm" has 20 words including orchard, plow, henhouse, and farmhouse, which wouldn't necessarily be the first French words I think she'd need to learn). However, I think the pull-tab idea would not hold the interest of an older child of 7 or 8. The left-hand drawings are also quite busy. Probably I would recommend it for reinforcing vocabulary but will try the story books instead.

Summary: Love the pronunciation guide
Review: The pronunciation guide at the back of the book is very helpful for me when teaching the words to my kids, as I wouldn't know otherwise. Some of the vocabulary words are not appropriate for my children, as they don't know those words in English.
