 Too generic, 2008-12-08
I bought this book for my children before heading to Italy. I thought it would be the perfect "map" for them. I was sorely mistaken. This book is too generic, trite, and offered little that I could not. It is basic to a fault. Neither one of my children liked the book. We ended up giving it away.

 Ciao bambino: A Child's Tour of Italy, 2008-09-24
My daughter used this book with her 4-year-old students at the preschool where she teaches. Each month her students learn about a country so this book was used when they were learning about Italy. The students loved it! They wanted that book read everyday. They truely enjoyed the book especially since it was told from a young boy's perspective. My daughter says she will use the book in future studies about Italy.

Is this really Italy?, 2007-01-28
I don't know if I was more disappointed or angered at this little insignificant but dangerous book. The contents has very little to do with what children, who travel to Italy, will ever encounter. What I find it does is continue the negative strereotyping of the Italians. Really! No one stomps on grapes and a child who will visit a farm in Italy will hardly see such outdated stereotypical occurrences. Can food be the only thing one would like of Italy? Of course, since the book failed to explain what other things of wonder a child might see. I bought this for my grandchildren, as sadly there are very few book on Italy with some italian words. I returned the book because I would NEVER introduce Italy to my grandchildren this way. A very expensive book that perpatuates outdated images. Poor job.

Charming!, 2006-02-23
What a wonderful introduction for young children to the Italian culture and language -- not to mention the notion of international travel in general! My daughter (4 yrs old at the time of purchase) loved it - particularly the opportunity to learn the Italian words. For a fairly short book (which I think is a good thing for young children) there are actually quite a few Italian vocabulary words presented in a fun, engaging way. The illustrations are charming and sweet.

Review from Buyer, 2006-02-10
I am an American of Italian descent and proud of my heritage. I purchased Ciao Bambino! to read to my grandchildren, Gianna and Dante. It's an excellent introduction to simple Italian words. Nicki"
