Two Picture Books, ABC and WALDY, by Brigitte Brocato

Facebook is a great place to meet lots of interesting people. On our Facebook Special Needs Book Review page we had a message from Brigitte Brocato telling us about her two children’s books, ABC and WALDY.  I was immediately impressed with these adorable picture books!

Ms. Brocato’s WALDY is available in three languages and ABC is designed to learn English and German. ABC is an educational children’s picture book in English and German with words in alphabetical order illustrated with colorful paintings for easy identification.

We thank Brigitte for writing a guest post introducing her picture books for young children and for telling us about herself.

ABC by Brigitte Brocato

The ABC book is for children who are starting to learn to read. The words are in alphabetical order in the English and German language and it is illustrated with colorful water color paintings for easy identification.

Apple…..Apfel

Auge……Eye

In the English language the article before the noun is always “the”. In the German language the article before the noun is either:

der ……(masculine)….der Mann……the man

die…….(feminine)…….die Frau………the woman

das…….(neuter)……….das Lied……..the song

In the last chapter of the book there is a quiz challenging the young reader to put the proper article before the noun.
