First French Dictionary: A Reference Book for Children

Excellent resource for my son's first semester French course in high school. It has the usual pages like any picture dictionary, but it also has sections in the back for: verbs, questions/common expressions, a French-to-English dictionary and an English-to-French dictionary. Every word is sounded out, so he can check his pronunciation.It's a good mix of a standard French dictionary and a common picture dictionary.

Lovely illustrations and well presented. As a Junior School French teacher I would highly recommend this book for young children.

This book has clear, easy to find pictures.. It has references for both English to French and French to English that young children can use independently (once you teach them how). I am using it with a 7 year old who can read. He uses the indices at the back and uses the theme pages to find words. The book gives pronunciation using phonetic spelling beneath each French Word.

This has enough substance to be appropriate for my fifth grader, but isn’t so dense or intimidating to turn off a beginner.

Motivates my daughters interest and understanding of French language
