I used a scale of one to seven, the highest point means the course book carry out with the most appropriate criterion.

I think the course book in general is very interesting because it has a lot of pictures, for example it has Disney´s pictures  and that is funny for  children, every one of them have watched some Disney´s movie and it attracts the attention of the learners and it allows the teacher make a good class.
