not just for kids
When I married a German man, my mother gave me this book as a wedding gift. This book was an excellent start on my journey to learning the language. I recommend it for any child or adult who is a beginner to beginner/intermediate in German. By using each word in a funny but grammatically useful sentence, reusing the same words throughout the book, and associating each with a picture that makes it fun and serves as a memory cue, I came out the other side of studying this book with the ability to understand most basic spoken German and to speak a bit myself. And I had fun reading it. Not many dictionaries can claim that.

Its only drawback is that, as with any language book not accompanied by a tape, there's not much help with pronunciation. (My husband read the entire thing out for me onto an audiotape.)

This book is great!
Along with the words are cute cartoons which help the child to visualize the words they are learning. Also there are phrases that uses the words, which helps them to learn sentence structure. The phrases are ones you can use in everyday conversation which is something most books don't provide. ... Read more
