Title: Good material, but not easy.
Review: I got this book to use with my daughter, a beginning French student, because it has the side by side translations. The stories make good material, but the poetry is difficult in either language. I was kind of expecting somewhat easier material in a book with side by side translations, because it appeared to be for students. That said, the book is a great tool, and the quality of the printing is good. If you are using it as a study tool I would recommend skipping the poetry at the beginning and starting instead with the prose.
