Summary: The Monkey Shines
Review: Grief . . . comforting friends . . . food . . . threatening enemy . . . victory . . . happiness. What more could you want in a book? Well actually, there is more. You can read it, look at Alex de Wolf's clever pictures, listen to it on tape, and learn French -- all at the same time. Mary Risk, as usual, has not been satisfied just to "feed" the reader French - she has created an engaging story that my 4-year-old listens to and "reads" over and over.

Summary: Fun, colorful, great for new vocabulary.
Review: I teach French to elementary school children and they loved this book. The illustrations are beautiful and colorful. And the story is entertaining enough for them to catch up on new vocabulary. The book itself is excellent quality as well.

Summary: Pretty Good.
Review: There are very few french books for children it seems. However, we enjoy this one. It has both english and french (with pronunciation guide in the back of the book). The pictures are amusing. We wish there were more of these books.

Review: What a great way to learn another language! My son loves the pictures, and we tirelessly read it over and over again in both French and English. The pronunciation guide is very helpful. I wish they offered this book in several more languages.
