Here's a pleasant and effective way for students of German to build and strengthen vocabulary skills. The book consists of 15 carefully rendered scenes — 14 double-page and one single-page — each devoted to a different theme of topic: Im Zoo (At the Zoo); Das Wohnzimmer (Living Room); Auf dern Bauernhof (On the Farm); Das Badezimmer (Bathroom); Das Schlafzimmer des Mädchens (Girl's Bedroom); Beim Abendessen (At Dinner); Das Schlafzimmer des Jungens (Boy's Bedroom); Der Supermarkt (Supermarket); Das Klassenzimmer (Classroom); Am Strand (At the Beach); and five more.Each illustration contains dozens of common objects, clearly labeled in German. By studying the illustrations, students can learn over 500 words for common household items, clothing, foods, vehicles, furniture, names of animals, parts of the body, types of stores and public buildings, and many more.To help reinforce words and meanings, all the scenes in this book are ideal for coloring. In addition, a complete list of German words (with definite articles) and English translations will be found at the back of the book. The result is an attractive and useful language resource that will appeal to any student of basic German, child or adult.

Unfortunately, I was very disappointed with this book. Nowhere did it say that this is a coloring book, so the title page is deceiving with its nice colors. For an older child who is crazy about coloring (because of the very busy and detailed scenes) this may be something, otherwise you can't even make out much on the black-and-white scenes. My toddler picks it up often because of the colorful title page and then is always disappointed once we open it. As a German mother, it therefore has no value for me in teaching my child German, which is too bad.
This book is good for building basic vocabulary in German. It is basically a coloring book, but it would be nice to have a version with darker ink, so my senior students could read it better. Some of the pictures are obviously generic and do not exactly match German culture. Still, it's a good source, where there's no over-kill in vocabulary.
Nice busy pictures for children to colour in. I think it's best for 5-10 years old that like colouring in. Younger kids won't be able to read the words and the pictures are busy. Good set of vocabulary is covered.
I had this when I was a small girl learning German, and I was lucky enough to stumble across it here so that my son can have it too. The pictures are intricate enough to keep older kids entertained, while all the German words (with their articles) dot each scene appropriately. I bought one for my son when he's older and one for me so that I can relive my youth too. :)
It is somewhat disappointing, but of course it is very cheap. If the inside were like the cover, it would be good, but it is inside a coloring book,only the black outlines given. Since the pictures are quite busy, and the word labels small, it is sometimes difficult to make out things without the color. My children were not particularly interested in coloring the fields, and anyway if the coloring is not done with much attention, the pictures will not get easier to understand, and the word labels will become even less visible. Leaving out the colors reduced production cost, but I think it really reduced the value of the book substantially. The oxford picture dictionary english-german is more useful.
I have mixed feelings about the German Picture Word Book. First, I thought the book would be in full color, but the inside looks more like a coloring book, just black and white. I bought it for my young daughter, but the words are much too advanced for her,and the lack of color made her loose interest almost immediately.On the up side, my husband is a German teacher and is planning to use the book to make handouts for his vocab lessons.All and all, if you have an older child that is learning German, this is a great help, but I would not recommend this for younger children that just want to color or look at pretty pictures.
The kindle version of this book has pictures whose labels are too small to read when viewed on a kindle and become indecipherable when the picture is zoomed in (the pictures are bitmaps not vector graphics that can be zoomed in on without the picture losing quality.
I too was disappointed to receive this book and find that it was a coloring book, which my son was not interested in coloring. I wish that the description had stated it was a coloring book - I would not have chosen it, because, as each page is filled black and white outlines, it appears very jumbled, and it's not nearly engaging enough to read or look at frequently enough to learn a language from, not even as a supplement. The artistry itself matches the image shown on the cover, but they are line drawings only. For a student who enjoys coloring, this might be an excellent choice.
