From the Back Cover

A bilingual storybook that fits kids' language-learning needs "just right"

Now story time is an opportunity to teach French to children aged 2 to 7--and you don't even have to know the language yourself! It's simple with McGraw-Hill's Easy French Storybook: Goldilocks and the Three Bears.

This book presents the classic fairy tale side-by-side in French and English. The story of Goldilocks and her follies is vibrantly illustrated, allowing children to connect the meanings of words to pictures, reinforcing their comprehension of French vocabulary.

Don't worry about pronunciation--the accompanying CD does that for you! It presents an engaging reading of Goldilocks and the Three Bears in both English and French that will entertain kids while they hear correct French pronunciation. You can read along with the narration or learn along with your kids!

The audio program also includes:

• A mini picture dictionary with key vocabulary words that can be used as an introduction to the French text or as a review after "The End"
• Everyday phrases integrated into the story
• Helpful pronunciation basics

Teaching children French has never been so enjoyable for kids--or so easy for you!

Customer Reviews

Excellent book!

This book is an excellent and fun way to introduce your children to the French language. I read this to my children every night, and they love listening to the CD as well. Their confidence in understanding what is going on in the story and the french words has been noticed by others. My own french is improving greatly and I definately prefer learning in a fun way rather than simply concentrating just on grammar! I highly recommend this book and look forward to purchasing more books from this author.
Ce Livre est tres bon! (This book is very good!)
