German Picture Wordbook

by Hazward Cirker and Barbara Steadman, Barbara Steadman

Here's a pleasant and effective way for students of German to build and strengthen vocabulary skills. The book consists of 15 carefully rendered scenes — 14 double-page and one single-page — each devoted to a different theme of Im Zoo (At the Zoo); Das Wohnzimmer (Living Room); Auf dern Bauernhof (On the Farm); Das Badezimmer (Bathroom); Das Schlafzimmer des Mädchens (Girl's Bedroom); Beim Abendessen (At Dinner); Das Schlafzimmer des Jungens (Boy's Bedroom); Der Supermarkt (Supermarket); Das Klassenzimmer (Classroom); Am Strand (At the Beach); and five more.
Each illustration contains dozens of common objects, clearly labeled in German. By studying the illustrations, students can learn over 500 words for common household items, clothing, foods, vehicles, furniture, names of animals, parts of the body, types of stores and public buildings, and many more.
To help reinforce words and meanings, all the scenes in this book are ideal for coloring. In addition, a complete list of German words (with definite articles) and English translations will be found at the back of the book. The result is an attractive and useful language resource that will appeal to any student of basic German, child or adult.

This book has a really special meaning for me. When I bought it for my daughter, I didn't realize it was a coloring book. She was not old enough at the time to color it without coloring over the words, and if she did that, then she wouldn't be able to read them, so I colored it for her, carefully, with colored pencils, over the next 2 1/2 years. When it was finished, I gave it to her as a present, and the look on her face was one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
