I'm personally fond of the "Learn X with Beginner Stories: Interlinear X to English" series' approach to pedagogy. They put the literal English word underneath the original word, in fainter font so you can refer to it if you need to, but skip if you don't. This approach allows you to read a story and look up the words you need instantly, without wasting time on a dictionary and grammar. By the time this book came out, I was past the beginner stage with German, so I can't comment on the content other than "fairy tales," but I used the Danish volume last year, and I was pleased at how quickly it got me to reading Hans Christian Andersen without needing the interlinear method any more!

It's $3 on Kindle if you do Kindle.

OH, thank you! I'm looking for many, many languages plus English, LOL.
