I bought this title for my younger brother, little ol' Peter and invited him to an Italian restaurant to show him the present. In no time, he was fascinated with the infantile traits of the drawings - yes, they were intended for kids in the first place. Soon I prompted him to read up at least a few lines and I would translate to him to Spanish - our native tongue albeit we are both holders of italian passports. All in all, he became fascinated with Venice, the story of a young boy who became one of history's most famous explorers and all of a sudden couldn't stop posing questions about what was this/that! It made up for a great night of sibling bonding. Highly recommended for kids!
The pictures and words are simple and easy to read. This would be a good early reader for a child who already has a knowledge of the language. However, I think it would be too advanced for a small child or for a child that has only just started learning the language.
Great book for exposing children to the Italian language. My twins are 3.5 and love Marco Polo. Their dad can read it in English and I can read it in Italian.
This book is very well written for young children if you are trying to teach your child both Italian & English. My daughter is almost 2, and she pulls this book off the shelf especially to read it. Not too many words on each page so it keeps her attention. Illustrations are appropriate and interesting for little children. I was very pleased to find such a book available. I also found the same company created "Filastrocche Italiane" if you want another good dual language book for young children.
