So I did some serious book shopping whilst in France…
I was really pleased to find some of these Usborne books, we love the English equivalent “That’s not my…” but in French they are “Où est mon…”
Franglaisbaby also loves pressing the “pouett” on the Oui-Oui (Noddy) book.
We’ve been really getting into T’choupi, both the books and TV programmes, and P’tit Loup was a great discovery as we love the Loup books. P’tit Loup is so cheeky! And Petit Ours Brun is a classic. I especially like how some of the editions have lovely thick pages, a good compromise between a board book and a standard paperback.
Franglaisbaby loves foxes and dogs, so a couple of foxy fables were in order. I love the touchy-feely bits in the second book like the fox’s tail.
A bit different to a lift the flap book, the book above has pull out bits on every page to extend the story, I love this idea.
Usually I shy away from getting translations of English books but Each Peach Pear Plum just sounds so funny in French! And I picked up a couple of longer stories for when franglaisbaby is bigger.
Finally I picked up a Children’s Bible, something I’ve been looking for for a while. This one seems nice and interactive and has flaps and pop outs.
I think I did pretty well! The bank balance however does not – books in France are expensive.
