Bonsoir Lune / Goodnight Moon Review
User Submitted Bonsoir Lune / Goodnight Moon ReviewsFebruary 25, 2008 It's a classic - fun to have it in French This is such an American classic - always fun to give the French version to my French friends having kids. And in my experience the book becomes a favorite of the French kids too. This version is paperback, and was smaller than I expected. That's fine though - I just appreciate having a place from which to order it. February 17, 2008 Fun & easy reading This story is a favorite of mine in english and, now that I'm teaching french to my children, it has become a favorite of theirs in french! It's easy reading and fun with great illustrations. I was extremely pleased that Amazon had Bonsoir Lune available and my children and I highly recommend it! January 17, 2008 Goodnight Moon in French This is a great nighttime story book. We use the English version for our kids and I bought the French version of this book to help me work on my French while reading the story to them. November 3, 2007 A little disappointed... In the size and quality of this product. It is exactly how it is described, but in my mind I was picturing the english version. The colors aren't as good, and the translation loses a lot of the charm of the story, but it is still a good tool for anyone teaching their child a second language. October 27, 2007 A classic book, great to help your children hear more French I'm using the Flip Flop French workbook with my children and I am constantly trying to find good supplemental french story books to aid them with learning the French language. They liked this book in English, so I thought it was a good start. And it was they really liked listening to it in French as much as they did in English. August 14, 2007 poorly translated! The French translation for this book is not well done. I do not recommend it for anyone who is trying to teach their child proper French. The entire premise is that it's a bedtime book, and "Goodnight moon" implies saying goodnight as one goes to bed. "Bonsoir lune" implies more of a "good evening", as if one were being greeted in a restaurant for dinner. "Bonne nuit" would be a much more appropriate translation. This is just an example of several contextual as well as technical translating errors throughout the book. March 10, 2007 Nice Book I purchased this book for a French co-worker expecting her first grandchild. This would be a 5 star if it was the "board-book" version. This one is paper-back and therefore a little flimsy especially as a gift. January 19, 2007 Great for teaching French! My family loves this book! We read Bonsoir Lune to our toodler, preschooler and middle schoolers (who are taking French). It is a fantastic companion to the English version, which we read before/after the French version. I only wish I could find it in hard cover (boardbook)! August 12, 2006 Note that this is a paperback! I didn't notice that this book was a paperback and was expecting a board book similiar to the English version sold in stores. Board books are much more durable, of course. I also agree that there is a color match issue as mentioned by someone else. Otherwise, I'm happy to have the story in French. March 19, 2006 A great way for your child to learn french We got this bok because we are trying to teach our 5 yr old some basic French. This book is great for naming objects and the repetitive nature of the ryhmes make it easy for the child to learn. Since she knew and loved the english version, this was a great way to learn some french. I recomend this with Ours Brun, Dis-Moi (Brown Bear What Do You See), Devine Combien Je t' Aime (Guess How Much I Love You) and La La Chenille Qui Fait Des Trous (The Very Hungry Caterpillar). These are books your child already know by heart and are a great way to introduce a second language to your young child. For more Bonsoir Lune / Goodnight Moon reviews click here.
