We got this book because we are trying to teach our 5 yr old some basic French. This book is great for naming objects and days of the week the repetitive nature of the ryhmes make it easy for the child to learn. Since she knew and loved the english version, this was a great way to learn some french.I recomend this with Ours Brun, Dis-Moi (Brown Bear What Do You See), Bonsoir Lune (Goodnight Moon) and Devine Combien Je t Aime (Guess how much I love you). These are books your child already know by heart and are a great way to introduce a second language to your young child.
Great book. I had it when I was a kid (in French).My daughter is now enjoying it in English and Spanish, and will get the French version as well.Question remains as to why "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" stayed "La Oruga Muy Ambrienta" in Spanish but became "La Chenille qui fait des trous" in French (The caterpillar who makes holes)... Nothing wrong with "La chenille qui avait tres faim!" in my humble opinion.Great work anyway by Carle, like other books we enjoy (Brown Bear, 10 Little Rubber Ducks...)
In general, I am not a big Eric Carle fan. Some of his books I do not care for at all, while others I do like. This one, however, I think is wonderful. It is my favorite of his books. I like how it incorporates the days of the week, different foods, and the life cycle of a caterpillar. I like that my toddler can learn all these things in French, and he likes being able to put his little fingers through the holes made by the hungry caterpillar. I think this is a GREAT book to have in one's French children's library. The only thing keeping me from rating it five stars is the quality of the binding. It appears to be very flimsy/cheap, and I seriously wonder how long it would last if I allowed my three-year-old to look at it on his own. I really wish would offer this classic in hardcover, or at least in a better quality paperback.
I bought this because my husband speaks French and is planning on getting a phD in French. English, I should say, is his native language but he has studied in France and speaks it fairly fluently.In any case, I purchased this for our collection that we're starting of French children's books.This is so cute! It's obviously a translation of the English text, but my husband said the translation is great and he smiled as he read through the story in French.I purchased the board book version and love the quality and size! It even has the holes in the fruit like the English versions I've seen. (Illustrations are the same, of course.)Highly recommend since we couldn't be happier with the product.
I always loved this story as a kid. I was excited to get the French version for my 6-month old as we are speaking to her in French. The story is great. My only complaint was that both of the corners were bent upon arrival. It would have been nice if it had been more securely packaged.
Growing up as a bilingual French speaker in an English speaking country is easier when you can at least read the same books as your friends,albeit in a different language.I like that my daughter can have different versions of the same book, so it doesn't look like mommy and daddy are doing everything differently, it's confusing enough that they don't speak the same language.But why is the English version a board book and not the French version?
This translates beautifully from the English to the French I use this with my young French students every year.It has color words, days of the week and food words… a lot of basics. Plus just a charming story. Interesting to talk about why the author (?) chose such a different title translation.
I got the BoardBook, but it is more like paperback, very small, and extremely difficult to turn the pages, and they don't stay open. Especially the middle pages that are 'short' because they "accumulate" as you turn the pages. Definitely NOT recommended for young children, for whom a board book is designed to cater.My expectation was a french equivalent to the english version of the board book I borrowed from the local library, which my daughter LOVES! It's supposed to be BIG (at least 12 by 12) which thick cardboard pages that are easy to turn with small fingers and stay open on their own. Quite unfortunate. I returned it. :(
