Customer Reviews

Probably one of the best in this series

My child and I both love it. This is a multi-layered book that is fun and teaches so many different things. It helps teach the name of farm animals and shows their roles and the tasks they undertake. It also teaches a child that sometimes it takes time to find a friend and accept rejections. It also teaches a number of french verbs and vocabulary. Add to it the sounds that animals make and you have a winner.

Puppy Finds a Friend is just right!

Perfect for our needs - just like all the other I Can Read Stories in French!

Another good language book

This book, like the others in the series, is well-written, comprising a little story that is intelligible to even my under-2 son. The parallel story structure (English and French on each page) really helps him understand that two words can mean the same thing. The pronunciation script in the back of the books in this series allow my wife (not a lick of French study in her background) to make a passable attempt at reading the stories when my son demands the French version over the English.

Great book!

My daughter loves this book. The pictures are really cute. From about age 1, she would point to the various animals and we would make the animal noise. As she got older she can try to say the name of the animal in both English and French. This is a fantastic book.

perfect for learning

This is perfect for children (or adults!) learning french. It uses repeatition and variation to teach several different simple sentence structures and useful vocabluary words. Cute pictures. I thought the explainations on how to pronounce the words was great as I could comprehend what it was instructing. Certainly, it gets the beginning pupil close enough!
