Easy French Storybook: Goldilocks and the Three Bears(book + Audio CD): Boucle d'Or Et Les Trois Ours [With CD]

My children--2 and 4 years old--have enjoyed listening to me read Goldilocks in French. I haven't had as much use for the CD, but it is fairly well produced (the female French voice is, in fact, BEAUTIFUL; I'm not as crazy about the male English voice, but that's a personal opinion). Those uncomfortable reading aloud in French could certainly depend upon the quality of the CD. I think that the illustrations, though cartoonish, really elucidate the text well. I base this on the fact that I read the story to my kids in English only once, and yet they can obviously follow along with the French page by page. I would recommend this resource for parents interested in introducing young kids to French through reading. Also highly recommended: Le Petit Chien Se Trouve Un Ami and similar books in the I Can Read French Barron's Educational Series, and the Complete Lyric Language: French CD.

Quite a neat family centered book, easy to read both in English and French.

The books in this series have a quality binding and are very sturdy and will hold up to repeated use. The text is very easy to read and the accompanying CD is invaluable for training the ear to hear the French pronunciations. We had difficulty locating French children's books so this one is a treasure!

This is a great book to support language learning at home. It comes with a CD so you can "hear" the story in English or French and review keywords in the story. The CD has been great to use in the car -- my kids quiet down as soon as I put it on. They love the illustrations and the animated voices of the bears. As a parent whose French is "rusty", I appreciate being able to hear the story and see the text in both English and French. And as a professional who specializes in dual-language books, I highly recommend adding this to your collection.
