"For anyone taking this book to France, "point and pronounce" will mean point and be understood. After all, the idea is to communicate and that's exactly what this delightful guide will help you do. And what Frenchman won't respond to Jill Butler's colorful, catchy artwork -- it's candy for the eyes."
