Book Reviews of Un, Deux, Trois: First French Rhymes (Book & CD)
Book Review: Un Deux Trois - Unique and Exceptional
Summary: 5 Stars
As a preschool French teacher at a Montessori school, I am always looking for good products to recommend to parents for at-home enrichment. What makes this book/CD set so special is the exceptional quality and beauty of the speaking and the fact that it is unique.
There are many CDs with French songs, but few for young children on the American market, where French is spoken. The poems, rhymes, counting-out rhymes, beautiful pictures and special "settings" are extremely appealing to young children and have a classic quality. This book is excellent for guided learning --- exploring French with your child or a small group of children. Act out the rhymes or otherwise bring them to life with puppets, drawing, counting, pictures, fingerplays, or any type of game. Then pull words out to say and learn.
These are not just spoken rhymes, they lend themselves to interactive play very well! Don't just put it in the car stereo and expect your child to be entranced until they understand what some of it means. After they do, young children's imaginations are captured by the silliness of the nursery rhymes. Nursery rhymes, with their rhythm and exaggeration & repetition of sounds, are fantastic teachers of the native sounds of a language! This is the most important thing a young learner can pick up!
There are notes for each rhyme in the back of the book, but thankfully no blah blah blah in English on the recording itself. The clear enunciation and lyrical quality of the main speaker gives her the type of voice that makes people say, "French is a beautiful language." Her speaking is just entrancing. There is also enough music and little sound effects to enhance the presentation. This product is very reasonably priced for such a gem of language and culture!
Book Review: From a teacher, this is pretty neat!
Summary: 5 Stars
For the price, what a lovely book! Hardback, full color, and a CD too! Wow! My four children enjoy the CD in the car, and they like to look at the pictures as well, as I read the rhymes. The two eldest (4 and 6 year old boys) are able to "read" along with me since they've heard the CD so much.
We're working through Flip Flop French: Ages 3-5: Level 1 as well, and so it's neat that when we got to the lesson on clothes, they already could pronounce the words, and were VERY excited about knowing part of their lesson before doing the activities! I highly recommend this book!

Summary: 5 Stars
My 5 year old granddaughter and I had a delightful time repeating and reading along with this child's French Rhyme book and CD. By the end of it she could repeat 3 French words perfectly with a big grin on her face! She took the book out the following night for repeat reading and for dancing to the musique! :)
