"I love this - great for the price. We are going to have our first grandchild in six months. I have told my daughter and son in law that I will only speak French to the baby. Uh... now I must REFRESH! Mon Français est terrible!"

"The nice thing about this book is that it has everyday language around everyday activities you would engage in with a child. […] Many language products are designed for the traveler. I don't plan to ask the baby where the bathroom is or tell her I need a taxi. I need language products that cover everyday activities, household items, family relationships and events - that sort of thing. This is perfect."

"I highly recommend this product - I've looked at quite a few. This book and CD will be useful for a long time. I am a doctor of psychology with a special interest in development. Assessing products through the knowledge of brain development, I cannot recommend this product highly enough."

"I learned to speak French as an adult (and am still learning). As a result, I have had very little exposure to 'children's French' - how to speak to a child and use phrases appropriate for them. This is a fantastically reliable source for just that, and it is enjoyable to expand my own vocabulary along with my children's."

"As someone who had some very rusty high school French I have found this book and 60 minute CD invaluable in teaching my 1 year old son to understand and speak French. He even enjoys listening to the CD in the car while Mummy learns French as he recognises phrases and songs that we have begun to use. The book and CD show you how to conduct everyday conversations with your child in many situations such as getting dressed, eating, cleaning up, bath time, going to the park and playing games. In addition to the vocabulary there are lots of easy songs that you can learn and sing during those activities."

"While this book is geared towards children, I found it to be very helpful to me as a beginning French college student. I originally bought this mainly for it's pictures and dual translations as I'm a visual learner and because I've heard many foreign language audio programs that I didn't care for at all. This, however, is obviously done by a native speaker (and a good singer at that)."

"The audio and pronounciation is clear, making it easy to follow along with the text. The topics that are covered are everyday activities, making it easy to find ways to make use of what you learn in real life practice. Also, as the previous reviewer noted, the use of colloquial terms is also very helpful and useful."

"I was surprised at how much I liked this book. Most language books cover the basic, standard vocabulary in a set format. This one covers colloquial vocabulary that children learn, so you hear the endearments that parents use with their children and how roosters crow and the words for 'see-saw' and common phrases like 'Time to wake up!'. I can see myself using some of these phrases as ice-breakers in informal chats in my travels. Delightful!"
