My First Book of Vietnamese Words: An ABC Rhyming Book of Vietnamese Language and Culture

32 pp. | Tuttle | August, 2017 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8048-4907-4 $10.95
(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.
