What Will I Eat?: Quid Edam? (An I Am Reading Latin Book)

Rating:
Summary: Connecting Latin to English Immediately
Review: I am teaching Latin for the first time this year, and found my students' interest piqued by this humorous book. The sixth grade students perked up with each page, knowing they could decipher the Latin either through English derivatives or whimsical drawings. I have read it to my own children with the same success. The best part is that there is a clear pronunciation guide and glossary at the end of the book, so novices can pick it up and plunge into Latin in a non-threatening way. I look forward to more works like this one.
