In this engaging adventure, A Visit to Grandma, six-year-old Nicholas, his brother and sister use their wits to make their wonderful grandmother's birthday a very special celebration. The story introduces you to basic words and phrases, greeting words, family names, parts of the body, party words, feelings, clothing, position/direction words, action verbs and more. The full story is read in French on the accompanying cassette, which also features 8 lively children’s folk songs on side two to accompany the story.

The book includes both French and English text on each page, so you can familiarise your child with the story in English first, and then read the story in French or listen to it on the tape. Each time you and your child hear the story in French, you will understand a little bit more. Both the French and English translations for the songs are given at the end of the book. "A Visit to Grandma" is the most advanced of the three books in the Berlitz "Adventures with Nicholas" series.
