Take your children around the globe with books that introduce them to the cultures of the world.

In Ciao Bambino!: A Child's Tour of Italy and Bonjour L'Enfant!: A Child's Tour of France, author Danna Troncatty Leahy introduces young children to the cultures of Italy and France. With bright illustrations that both kids and adults will enjoy, even preschoolers will get a beginning lesson on life in the two countries. Though the books do not point out many specific places or attractions, kids get to discover numbers, colors, and other fun words in Italian or French. Using a pronunciation guide, kids (and parents) are able to learn these helpful words while looking at colorful pictures. Whether you are packing your bags for Europe or just looking to introduce children to different countries and cultures, these two books are a wonderful start for young children looking to learn about Italy and France.
