5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing books that teach both the child and adult!

We love this entire series of books. My son likes to hear them read to him and asks for them by the animal featured. It has also helped us with these words/phrases. The Hindi ones have, honestly, helped me the most at work as I have team-members based in India. It's amazing how far a simple "Thank you" in a native language helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Children are very curious people!
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2014
Having been raised in a multi-cultural home, it's a pleasure to encounter a writer who brings the possibility of other worlds, other cultures to the reading public under a certain age. Children love to learn how to say "Bye bye!" and are naturally curious about the world. Learning there is more to language than just their own, and learning about fascinating places elsewhere stimulates imagination and gets the travel conversation going with these bright young readers. I thoroughly enjoy reading this volume aloud to the youngers and they love learning about the world around them. Bring it on your next travel with the kids.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun book for learning languages
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2018
Wonderful book for learning different languages and countries of the world. My toddler can say all the words for hello and I’m so proud of him! I also love the map at the end of the book that shows where the different countries are.
