Did no one at all think that some pronunciation hints would be a good idea for this book?

Thank you, Michael, for reminding me of this book. I now remember despising it because of the lack of a pronunciation key. To this day I've not warmed up to the French language, have no interest in visiting Paris, etc.

Pretty good, broad book to teach young kids some new words and phrases in French with a story and English translations!
