Our World: Vietnam

The short, simple sentences are easy to follow and relatable, and the inclusion of pronunciation guides is especially helpful for all of those who are new to Vietnamese and want to give it a try. The book also has some very nice useful sentences that can support conversations about other cultures and reinforce shared experiences such as starting the day with breakfast, daily activities and bedtime routines. While some of the foods portrayed may be a bit difficult to readers who are unfamiliar with Vietnamese food, traditional snacks and cuisine add vibrancy to the story. 

With striking, vibrant colours and lovely characters, this book is ideal for curious young readers and a great addition to créche libraries, encouraging exploration of other cultures and appreciating the beautiful diversity of languages around the world.
