ABC in Vietnamese: A Bilingual Guide to Vietnamese Cuisine

This is a bilingual Vietnamese-English board book for young children and beginner learners who want a gentle first look at the Vietnamese alphabet. Instead of drills or lessons, it teaches one food-related word for each letter, so it works best if you want a simple vocabulary book you can read together with a child.

On the official embebooks page, the book is listed as a 7x7 inch, 30-page board book by Jessie Duong. Each letter is tied to a Vietnamese food, ingredient, dessert, fruit, or dish, with minimal illustrations and Vietnamese plus English text. You can see the book details on the publisher page, and bibliographic info including the 2023 publication year on Google Books.

What it does well is make early vocabulary feel approachable and culturally specific. It is sturdy, visually calm, and clearly made for families and small children. Where it falls short is depth. You are not getting pronunciation help, grammar, exercises, or much reading practice beyond single words, so older learners will probably outgrow it quickly unless they specifically want food vocabulary or a family-friendly cultural intro.
