Summary: NICE SONGS FOR KIDS BUT TITLE IS MISLEADING
Review: I recently ordered this book/CD combo. Good news first. The nice part about this product is the fact that you get 19 kids songs in English, which is quite a good value for the price that one pays. Now the bad news. Problem is that there is really no real teaching of English vocabulary anywhere. Although letters of the alphabet and numbers are recited in English (and this part only lasts a few seconds), nowhere on the book or on the CD can one find recited or written English on organized subjects such as animals, colors, basic pronouns (I, you, he, she) etc. (Well to be fair one dog and one cat are each mentioned once in the book). But no such thing as "This is a dog" or "This is a mouse" or This is a frog" kind of list is available. So, summing up, if you want a nice collection of English children songs, you may want to try this. However, if you want to teach your child basic English words and vocabulary, go somewhere else.
