Listen and Learn First French Words: (Listen and Learn)

For preschool children learning French as either a first or second language. This looks like a book but it's actually a clever sound panel that allows children to hear 128 everyday French words spoken by a native speaker. Children will love selecting a card with illustrations of a topic such as clothes, food, or animals, slotting it into the special frame and pressing the pictures to hear the words read aloud. Each of the four double-sided topic cards shows sixteen words with corresponding pictures for children to press. A fun and engaging way for children to learn French as a first or second language.

About the Author :
Sam Taplin grew up in a beautiful valley in Yorkshire, where he dreamed of being a writer, and after three years reading other people's books at university he started writing his own for Usborne. He's been doing it ever since. When he's not writing about lonely rabbits or inquisitive bears, he likes doing card tricks, writing songs and playing long games of chess by the fire. As a child, Rosalinde could not decide whether she wanted to be a wildlife biologist, a writer or an illustrator. But, because she spent most of her time doodling (even all over her notebooks during class!) or creating plays and sets for her puppets, she finally decided to study art after high school. She joined the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Arts Decoratifs in Paris. Since her graduation, Rosalinde has written and/or illustrated numerous books. When she isn't working or reading in her studio, she likes hiking, observing nature, taking photos, and making vegan pastries. You can visit her at www.rosalindebonnet.com. Mairi Mackinnon has lived in England, Scotland, France, Italy and Spain, and worked as a teacher, translator and tour manager before joining Usborne. Over the years she has written and edited Usborne books in sixteen languages, from Arabic to Welsh. She lives in a house full of teenagers, books and curious musical instruments.
