My First Book of Vietnamese Words: An ABC Rhyming Book of Vietnamese Language and Culture
(4)
K-3
Illustrated by
Thi Hop Nguyen
&
Dong Nguyen.
Colorful and intricately detailed paintings, (forced) rhymes, and brief additional notes introduce Vietnamese culture. Following the English alphabet, however, means awkwardly highlighting English words for letters that don't exist in Vietnamese. So "N is for the Nón..." but "W is for wisdom. / Trí is what we say." Pronunciation guidelines are provided.
