Title: near-enough-is-good-enough...NOT
Review: This book and tape set came highly recommended, and I did find the diction and sound quality clear. That and the very simple format make it suitable for pre-schoolers.As far as the quality of information provided goes: I should be used to it, but I'm not. Totally wrong pronounciation for the Chinese word "dui" (repeated in the chorus jingle on every page), inauthentic chop-suey Asian music, bogus pronunciations of "Matthew"'s name in languages which have no "th" sound -- if this is internationalization then I guess green tea tastes like cola!Some of the tape time taken up with an adult-oriented song promo of PC values could have been used instead to provide a chunk of real music representing each country, instead of the brief, unidentified bitelet provided.Sorry to sound so condemning -- if you feel you can overlook the cliches and the inaccuracies, you will at least have a product which is honestly aimed at the simple needs of the under-5 set.
