    Penny Lane is our economy imprint, dedicated to creating affordable books for families and classrooms. These titles are printed as paperbacks and usually use lighter paper than our premium titles.

My daughter said my grandchildren love their language books!

My First 400 French Words

I thought first words would be common words like yes no thank you . I’m sure they won’t need to say badger in another language

My First 400 French Words

These books were purchased as gifts. They are so beautifully illustrated. I can't wait to wrap them and give them to my family.

My First 400 French Words

Great little book for my granddaughter. I've been trying to teach her a bit of french!

My First 400 French Words

Just as beautiful as I was hoping for! My French husband was extra pleased it was French-French rather than French Canadian French. We’ll be looking for other bilingual French books here!

My First 400 French Words

Not worth the cost. Paper is very thin and cover arrived torn. Not great quality. Sadly.

My First 400 French Words

Can’t wait to start my grandchildren on learning another language!

My First 400 French Words

All of the books in this series are phenomenal! Lots of useful vocabulary with beautiful illustrations. Very eye catching for kids and fun to flip through. Laid out very simply, not overwhelming in the slightest which I love for first exposure to new languages. Highly recommend!

My First 400 French Words

On my grandsons Christmas list. So pleased to have such a well presented and fun educational book.
