Theodore and the Tall Ships (Jellybean Books)

Rating:
Summary: Fun for adults and children
Review: For those of us who love the Big Harbour (Halifax) and adore Theodore, this book is a must! I bought several copies with the idea of giving them as 'greeting cards' for friends who saw the real Tall Ships in Halifax Harbour in 2000. Although this book doesn't have the usual moral for children, it does have the helpful idea of making friends with ships and people from all over the world. An inexpensive, yet delightful book. Designed as a 'read to me' style book for children too young to read on their own, this book is a charmer.

Summary: theodore's introduction to foreign languages
Review: This story is another companion book to the PBS series, and is a gentle introduction to the idea of foreign languages. Like the other books in the series it is well written and nicely illustrated, and is one of the better Theodore stories. All the tugs are excited about the arrival of the Tall Ships to the Big Harbor, and it's Theodore's job to say hello to each arrival in their own language. We learn "hello" and "thank you" in Spanish, French, Italian, German and Dutch. Nicely done.
