When my kids were really little I bought this great bilingual German/English ABC book (http://www.amazon.de/Duden-Apfel-apple-Biene-englisch-deutsches/dp/3411059214/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1290782875&sr=8-1). I didn't end up using it that much, but that wasn't the book's fault. :tongue_smilie: My kids did end up learning to read in both languages almost simultaneously anyway...

Of course the homemade one is free and your kids will probably love it extra because you made it for them. But I thought I'd mention this one in case it was of any interest to anyone. Looks like it's out of print but Amazon.de has used copies for 0.99 Euros...

This might help you find some words. They are not in alphabetical order, but they are matched with English words and the special font makes it easy to sound out the German words correctly.
