Cousins Forever - Ξαδέρφια για πάντα: Α bilingual children's book in Greek and English (Greek Bilingual Books - Fostering Creativity in Kids)

Great little story book coming from real life, I would highly recommended it ,just for my opinion I believe could do with some more (childhood) photos ( as my daughter like to watch the pictures and imagine the story ) as she is 4 and can’t read yet Greek ether english .

An absolutely useless booklet. Phrases without literal translation and without any notes to explain anything. A whole page of pointless foreign names. Absolute waste of money.

In all honesty, this is a great concept but unfortunately a poor delivery. From the second that the first line was not correctly translated in English I was immediately put off. I understand that the reasoning may have been because it’s a simile “like 2 drops of water” but for a child learning a second language this can understandably cause confusion when not given the exact translation.Albeit if you can read Greek then by all means you can simply try to explain the above to a child (hopefully not an inquisitive one)The biggest disappointment for me were the storyline and pictures which were vague, boring & lacklustre. I just can’t imagine a child wanting to finish this book when I an adult struggled to finish due to its weak story line and boring imagery.I read a lot of positive reviews about how it would make a lovely gift 🎁 But I would probably now not agree. This was for my new baby girl to learn her ancestors language. Sadly I don’t think il be using this to teach her.

This beautifully illustrated book presents a sweet short story at an intermediate language level in the two languages. The sentences are short and carefully constructed, so as to teach important grammatical structures. The book is short enough to complete in a single lesson and a really effective additional tool in the teaching of these languages.

We are raising our daughter in a multilingual home. Greek is the main language I use with her at home and she hears English from outside the home. I love Elisavet's books and use them with my daughter! I hope she writes many more of these awesome books and I will add them all to our library!!!

Beautiful, real art, watercolor illustrations, and a lovely story that will resonate with children who have friends and family spread in different places around the world. My kids (4 and 6 years old) were inspired to look at the positive side of things, and strengthen their bond with their cousins who live in Greece via playing the art-words swap game suggested in this book. The translation is excellent, by far the best one I’ve seen in bilingual books on Amazon, and I was very pleased to see that it follows the modern Greek language grammar and spelling as taught nowadays in schools in Greece (ie καινούριος instead of καινούργιος, ξαδέρφια instead of ξαδέλφια and so on). Highly recommended.

Very nice book but a glossary would have made it perfect

Beautiful story, well made book and the artwork is fantastic. If you have a bilingual family, this book is a great addition to your library. I purchased 4 to give to nieces and nephews.

A great book for families and children that live apart .. it leaves you with a smile and a feeling that everything will become better .. ❤️
