Get Dressed, Robbie: Habille-Toi, Robbie (I Can Read)

Rating:
Summary: Great Start
Review: Get Dressed Robbie is a great introduction to French words for clothes. Like all of the "I Can Read French" books, both the English and French is on each page. You start by reading the whold book in English, then go back to read each page in both English and French. Finally, you try to read it all in French. This helps the young reader and/or adult helper to compare and understand the words and sentence structure of both languages. Even better, is that French pronounciation for every line in the book is located in the back. Unfortunately, the pronounciation is in the back instead of on each page, probably because each page would otherwise be too cluttered. Although I really like this series of books, they tend to be a little too long, and a little too much like lists. This is very useful practice for new French readers, but can get a little tedious. If this book, and others in the series, where instead shortened and made into board books with pronounciation on each page, then they would be fabulous for toddlers. Nevertheless, the books in this series are still a great start for young readers and adult helpers who have no previous experience with French.
