First French Words is a thematic bilingual book that takes you on a picture book journey through the day - from getting up in the morning, going to school, to a birthday party, even to the seaside, to bedtime. You can also play a word matching game, count ladybirds, and learn simple weather and time words. An ideal first introduction to some 400 essential French words and their English translations and illustrated by acclaimed picture book artist David Melling.
