A fantastic book to have in any primary classroom from year 1 right through to year 6. The book has a separate page spread for a variety of different situations such as animals, bed time, the beach and colours. This would be a perfect addition to a classroom where children learn French as part of their curriculum as a fun book to extend or reinforce their knowledge. This could also be used if a child joins the school who speaks French but very little English as by each picture is both the French and English words. The child could then feel less isolated and included by teaching their classmates the French words and being taught the English by others in the class. The book is colourful and engaging, making learning fun.
