Well done Barron's! This book was such a bright spot that it caused me to write my first review. Merci!Pros:- modern terminology- colorful and clear illustrations- includes technology- and internet-related terms which are indispensable now- covers a wide range of subjects that are relevant to kids' interests- lots of diversity in the drawings of people- gender articles are written out before each word rather than adding "(f)" or "(m)" after the word which makes it easier to learn the genders- my favorite pro: the stereotypical female/male job roles are out! This dictionary includes a female engineer, firefighter and surgeon as well as a male nurse and teacher. It's so rare and so wonderful to see this sort of thing, and also sad that it was surprising to see it.Cons:- at 128 pages (12 of which comprise the index), it's a little short and could have more subjects in it but the price is very reasonable for what you get and there's probably a limit to how much can go in one book geared to this age group- there are a couple little editing issues (lack of spacing between sentences, etc.)- this one is both a pro and con: pro - every other page has several sentences in French with a quasi-translation below, and con - the translations aren't always close enough that a child learning French will easily make the connection between the two
Great book for helping children learn French words! The only criticism I would make is that some of the words aren't words children would have to use in every day situations or even come across very often so they are easily forgotton.
Excellent
