Customer rating is 5 of 5  Livre Parfait   2010-02-25
By Jeremie (Delaware Valley, USA)
An absolutely great book to have if you are learning French or need a refresher. The exercises at the end of each story are great reinforcements for comprehension as well {the crossword puzzles are great too}! Plus the vocabulary is not hard to remember {I made my own flashcards using some of the words} and grammar is perfect for beginners. I also like the short stories at the end. All in all, I would definitely recommend this book to everyone.

I really enjoyed this book but also agree that this text is not for an absolute beginner, you must have some knowledge of French. This is also a great supplemental text to anyone studying the language.
Customer rating is 4 of 5  True beginners will probably find this book discouraging   2010-01-02
By Petit Prince
If you are truly a beginner with no knowledge (or very little) of the language, I think that you will find this book discouraging. Even for me, at a more intermediate level, I find the title discouraging in that I feel like if this is supposed to be "easy" french (as it would be for a native speaker), it just shows me how much I don't know at what is considered an "easy" level. As others have said, only the more advanced words are defined in the margins, so if you have zero french background, you're going to be in the dictionary all the time and there may even be times, because you may not understand french verb conjugations, when you can't figure out what the infinitive of the verb form is or it will be unclear. And some of it just isn't going to make sense to you at the beginning level, like looking up reflexive verbs, etc.

So, I think that this is a worthwhile book, but not for the very beginner. Get some grammar and vocabulary under your belt first so that you won't find this book discouraging and want to just give up on the language completely.

Customer rating is 5 of 5  Easy and fun   2009-11-30
By Cal Page (New Hampshire, USA)
The book is at just the right level for a beginner wishing to learn to read French. Each chapter starts with a small translation list for new words or expressions that show up in the main text thus helping you through the translation. Sentences are short and in the present tense, which is just what you want when you begin. There's also a lot of repetition, again good for the beginner.

Customer rating is 5 of 5  Awesome resources for French teachers!   2009-10-25
By Christine Haack
This is a great resource for French teachers. I use it in my classroom all the time. It also has a great section of history articles that is very easy to read for intermediate students and if you supplement a small activity to go with each reading it really helps the material stick. The history sections are short enough that they give you all the information that you need to know, but don't bore the students. The other sections are also fun and are great for quick activities for when you have substitutes.
