I read and shared this book with my infant/toddler nephew and he loved it! Even if speaking other languages isn't your strength, this book has pronunciation lines right under the sentences to help you. If that's still hard, it doesn't matter anyway. The toddler you're reading to will still enjoy the different language sounds that he/she is hearing. My nephew loved pointing to the objects pictured on each page and he enjoyed looking at himself in the mirror on the last page of the book.

I have to say I'm a fan of Baby Einstein. I like the vibrant colors of the book and so does my grand daughter. I like the way they have the phonics of the other languages under each statement or sentence, because if they didn't who knows what I would have said each little sentence was saying. I do feel that they should have the phonics of english under the statement as well because everyone does not read or speak english, just as everyone doesn't read or speak the other 4 languages they have in the book. Please keep in mind that this is a baby's book and they like simple and bold colors So, if you are expecting a lot of bells and whistles from this book you will be disappointed but if you keep in mind the imgination of a child you will truly be able to see the magic that is in the pages of this book

I just don't get all the excitement over Baby Einstein. Though the concept of this book is fantastic: presenting babies and toddlers with exposure to multiple languages in a simple, fun, artful way. However, as with all Baby Einstein products the photos and art in this book are just awful - ridiculously so. Why on earth couldn't the designers have taken the time to use artful, consistent imagery rather than the cheap mish-mosh of pictures they ended up publishing? I would not buy this book again.
