If You Were Me and Lived in...France
We received this book to give an honest review.
This is the second book we have read in this series, and I really enjoy it. You get to learn about France in a way that makes it fun to learn and not boring. I enjoyed how at the end of the book it shows you some of the words and how to pronounce them.
K enjoyed learning about the Eiffel tower that was in the book and informed me it looks like an A.
This story is written in a way that it captures the children into learning about a new place and their culture.
The only problem I had and it isn't anything major is when you open the book you get a picture of France and it shows you were Paris is. It was hard to read the word Paris in black letters on the blue background.
