Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: A text in English describes going to school, with vocabulary words given in four languages including English, French, Russian and Spanish with pronunciations. Includes the Russian alphabet. At Home, In the Park, In School -- the child's world around the world is virtually completed by this volume. Again the key words are given in English, French, Spanish and Russian (with additional terms and a Russian alphabet at the back) while the text and pictures record a typical school day. But what is typical is hardly characteristic of ""San Francisco or San Sebastian, Cherbourg or Odessa"" and the UNifying moral is put forth at the expense of a geography lesson. (Although some indications of provenance creep into the pictures -- as per the different desks and hair-dos -- by and large they're dis-located.) Nonny Hogrogian's little figures are always active and attractive -- nor more so than when they're illustrating eight popular first names that the four languages have in common. Which is one lesson that every one will like. - Kirkus Review
