"I found this to be an entertaining tool that enhanced my comprehension of the French language and the audio helped with my comprehension."
"I stumbled across this book the other day and downloaded it onto my kindle fire.I must say that this book exceeded my expectations. The book is innovative and has a great selection of bedtime stories."
"My son and I love this book!"
"Also, although the French reader's voice is pleasant, it's not articulated well."
"Book didn't come with an audio as advertised."
"This "book" is so cheaply made, and is black and white with hardly any pictures."

"With the knowledge I received from Easy French, coupled with a sample of Pimsleur really increased my verbal fluency. When I was depending on what I learned from Easy French, I would still struggle with phonetic French. If you have a talent to pick up languages by ear, then I recommend you go through the Pimsleur French first and Easy French second. I have always had french classes in my youth and somehow I retained a lot of the basic grammar, which helped in the easy way I swept through the first couple of chapters in Easy French. If you have no idea where to start in order to start the process of learning the ever so difficult French language then look no further than Easy French Step-by Step for Written Fluency. Click on the links to direct you the additional material I bought and recommend with Easy French: French, Conversational: Learn to Speak and Understand French with Pimsleur Language Programs. The Ultimate French Review and Practice."
"Easy to read, easy to learn, I use almost evary day at least 20 minutes."
"For someone trying to teach themselves French, it's kind of confusing and the chapters don't follow in a nice order..."
"Very helpful in learning word gender and how to pronounce French words!"
"This is one of the best French grammar books in its price range on the market."
"Loves it but needs a French to English translation/ dictionary."

"I purchased the "Best Learning Spanish 3 in 1 Box Set (Free Audible Inside): Learn Spanish In a Week and Become a Fluent Spanish Speaker" in the Kindle Edition. I purchased the Best Learning Spanish 3 in 1 Box Set (Free Audible Inside): Learn Spanish In a Week and Become a Fluent Spanish Speaker for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review."
"When I come home I go through the book part to repeat what I was already listen to all day. Due to that split of learning it will take me more than just one week to learn it but I'm already able to have a short conversation with my neighbor from Honduras and she seems to understand me :-). I will definitely continue with this set and become a fluent Spanish speaker."
"I ordered this ebook because in the law office I work in there have been times that I cannot communicate with a spanish speaking client, without an interpreter. I choose to go with an audio version because I just learn better hands on than by something just written. I am providing a video to show what I'm talking about with the ease of beginning the program. I did receive this in a promotion at a discount to try the program in exchange for my honest and unbiased review."
"To me, it's more memorization oriented that teaching you the root of the language."

When there's nothing left of her, the boy returns again as an old man, needing a quiet place to sit and rest.

It has turned into a discussion book for all my grandkids. The book is a hardback & comes with a cover resembling the cover of the book."
"One of my favorite books with a great lesson for children on giving/taking and appreciation."
"Must have for all children."
"Best childhood book ever - adults should re-read every year as well."
"Great story for my 6 year old who reads voraciously.."
"Just like I remebered!"
"One of my favorite books ever."
"Every child should hear and read the story of The Giving Tree as a tool for understanding the goodness and usefulness of nature and all of life’s gifts."
