We are bilingual and need both French and English books for our children. I am happy to report that the French version of The Giving Tree is well translated, and as captivating in French as it is in English. Unlike many French children's books on , this one is well-written in correct and charming literary French. It is also of excellent binding and quality (unlike other French children's books on ; cough cough Dr. Seuss, je vous regarde). I am so thankful we found this edition, I think it will be a wonderful edition to any francophone's collection.
I adore the works of Shel Silverstein and I desperately want to speak and understand the French language.. This book is perfect for a novice like me and the story is wonderful and heartwarming..
This book, was sent to a missionary friend who is creating a library for the people of a village in Haiti. One little girl found it "sad." However, the book, they said, arrived in very good condition from the seller so I'm pleased with that. I like the story of The Giving Tree because it tells us we can keep on giving even when we may think we have nothing left to give. Service is for a lifetime.
I got this for Christmas for my sibling who got her degree in French. It was such a perfect gift as we owned this book in English when we were growing up!
I purchased this book to slowly introduce poetry to my grandson, as the author is a favorite of is mother's. Jackson is only 18 months old. His vocabulary French and English is beyond that of a two year old. Still, we are going to go very slowly. We have completed the first two pages and he now comprehends them. I think that it will be best used and understood when he is about 9 and reading himself. For that reason I have put the book away for a few years.
This French version of Shel Silverstein's beloved children's story will be familiar because the illustrations are the same as the English edition. I was disappointed that it is in paperback and is not as large as the version in English. I purchased it to give to an American family with three young daughters that is hosting a little girl from Haiti who is in U.S. for surgery and recuperation from injuries caused by the earthquake there. I wanted something she could understand and that would be familiar to her little American hostesses. It certainly filled the bill on both counts, so I guess the size was not really an issue. Buyers should be aware that this is a smaller format.
This well-known children's book is a super way to introduce beginning language learners to French. Even children without a foreign language background can learn to make associations with the language.
