Learning French has never been more fun than with this novelty bilingual picture dictionary. Featuring 100 common nouns, young readers simply pull the tab to get an instant translation from English to French and back again. The words are grouped thematically into spreads -- on The Farm, The Store, The Park, The Town and At Home. Each spread features a busy, full colour artwork packed with things for children to name and translate. Opposite, items from the main picture are illustrated separately, accompanied by their English names. By pulling the tab, readers can instantly change the names from English into French -- nothing could be easier! And to help with pronunciation, all 100 words are repeated at the back of the book, in English and French, alongside their phonetic translation. French is the most popular language taught in schools today, and this delightful book makes an ideal introduction to the subject for future linguists aged three and over!
