(3) PS Illustrated by Nick Sharratt. A large, colorful format with clear and lively pictures presents a category of words in French and English on each spread ("What's in the park?" shows swing, bench, dog, etc.), while questions in word balloons prompt adults to use the book interactively with children. Nearly two hundred words are presented pictorially while the last three pages provide a pronunciation guide and list each word with its meaning and transliteration.
