Hello, I appreciated your comments on reading. Living in the US, we have had a lot of success reading to our sons in French since (really) the day they were born. They have a great vocabulary in French and I am sure a lot of it is due to the exposure to reading in the minority language that they have received.
I wanted to let you know that I discuss your book in a guest post at Multilingual Mania, also a great blog on bilingualism (http://multilingualmania.com/linguistic-resources-for-bilingual-parents/). My own site is http://bloggingonbilingualism.com/ and I mention it there as well. Thanks for sharing your ideas!

Thank you Eve. You have a great site - and thanks for discussing the book! There is so much useful information out there – (both books and articles online) for parents raising bilingual children, I’m thinking there is no excuse now – we can’t fail or give up!!
I see on your blog that you’re planning a trip to France – We’ll be heading over there this summer as well, to see family. I can’t wait to have the girls immersed in French, playing and telling stories with their cousins. It’s going to be great! Bon voyage to you and your family.
Take care,
Virginie

Thanks for linking to us! I can’t wait until I also read the book-Eve just did a guest post about it on our blog! I know that she has really loved the book, because I’ve seen her tweet about it multiple times in the past as well! Thanks!!
