Format:Paperback
This is a wonderful book for all young esl learners, full of fun, with ready and really useful stereotypes, easy to learn and to recite. The rhythm, the colours, the repetitive pattern makes it so enjoyable that reading English becomes really funny and learning how to pronounce, to spell or where to put a phrase/wod stress is easy! AN excellent follow-up activity after 'description' or 'countries and nationalities'...
I highly recommend it to any teacher with esl sixth forms!
