Impariamo l'Italiano con l'aiuto della Mano

Great teaching tool, and pretty too!

This book is eye-catching, informative, engaging, and the illustrations are downright adorable. It's also interactive, with some pages for children to fill in the blanks to show what they've learned ("Mia Mamma si chiama..." page, for instance, to fill in the names of family members). It covers the basics like greetings, numbers, shapes, colors, fruits, and vegetables, but also has some more advanced words in the text, which offer great teaching moments as well.

I originally received a PDF copy from the publisher, but I'm glad I also got a physical copy, because I'm happy to report it's a high-quality book as well -- not something that will fall apart after a few uses.

Overall, this book is a great addition to your own child's library or as a gift to your favorite bilingual-to-be kid (or adult); highly recommended.
