Disappointing

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2018

Verified Purchase

The illustrations in this book are very poor and do not give any idea of what Pompei is like to someone who has never been there. The story is also not very interesting and is baby-ish while at the same time being written for children aged 6+. My son is 2. We speak Italian and English at home. He loves dogs and I was hoping this would provide a story with illustrations of Pompei that he could learn from. I am keeping it only because I think I may use it as homeschool material later, when I can supplement it with a history lesson!

Great for Italian speaking homes w/non-Italian speaking members

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2013

This story about a dog becoming a hero in Pompeii is delightful. It is written in both Italian and English, which is great for homes where one parent speaks Italian but the other does not. The intro to the book and the back of the book also include some history of Pompeii in both Italian and English. We've read this to our baby, but once a baby is mobile it isn't really for their little hands (it's large, with paper pages). It would be great for an older child though. Age aside, we love it.

Very simple, straight forward story of a stray dog living in the ruins of Pompeii. A good tail to translate, re-read (repeatedly) and use to practice Italian. Book arrived as scheduled and in good shape. Publisher appears to have other books that could be used for the same purpose.

I love this book. As an instructor of Classical languages, I can read only a little Italian. It's been a fun book to use in beginning Italian lessons with my friend, a clever instructor. Anyone young or old with an interest in Ancient Pompeii or the Italian language should try this book. A series of these books set throughout dozens of ancient sites in Italy would be fun.

What a fun book for us adults in Italian class. With the pictures we take turns reading it to each other just to practice our pronounciation and also listening skills in Italian. The english translations helps when we get stuck on the meaning of the sentence.

Modern character meets Ancient Italian History

Wonderfully colorful bilingual Italian story. One of the most asked for books at our Italian Family Festival! Italian Nonnas (grandmas) and Mom's love this book as much as the children. Great way to expose children to the Italian language.

Highly recommended book and seller!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 23, 2017

Verified Purchase

Beautiful bilingual book, my 4 years kid loves it, suitable for all ages kids. I could not tell if it is more beautiful the story or the artistic illustrations. Ideal for learning any of two languages - Italian or English. Except of interest for history and cultural heritage (Pompei and Roman world), it helps to stimulate the sensibility for the abandoned dogs. The item was sent expeditiously and arrived before the estimated time of delivery. Perfect condition of item.
I will not hesitate to buy again from this seller. It met all my expectations.Thank you!
