The truth is I forgot to pick up a book from my bus on Saturday (it unfortunately doesn't live with me!) so I am writing a blog today on a story I know off by heart!! It is about a rabbit, not a wolf for a change; oops, sorry, there is actually briefly a wolf in it!!...

I know, it is another story about a wolf... but it is a totally different style to others mentioned so far! Grégoire Solotareff's humour and pictures are much darker but nonetheless entertaining and will provoke discussion with your pupils for sure! Author or source:...

This book was a real "coup de coeur" in a supermarket (didn't get a chance to got to a book shop!) on my last visit to France for Easter. It is beautiful, funny and with speech bubbles as well as a narrator's speech it can be read on so many levels! Language of text :...

This is another fantastic funny book I can guarantee you will love. I am in the process of contacting the author... I will let you know if she gets back to me! (update: she did and said thank you for the blog.) Author or source: Soledad Bravi Intended age of students:...

I think I paid 2 euros for this book at a vide-grenier last summer... A bargain! You could grab it for a few pounds and it would still be worth it! Type of text : Poem Author or source : Helene Benait Intended age of students : Key Stage 2/3/4 Source reference :...

To be honest with you when I received this book in the post from my parents when my son (now 18) was a toddler... I read it and thought: what on earth were you thinking buying this?!? Really?!? Now I LOVE it and more importantly children do too! I have even used it in...

This book is a new fun take on a traditional French song, "Promenons-nous dans les bois." (see video below) I love the humour in it as the pigs tease the wolf and the unexpected ending makes everyone smile! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QOBeHgnIUU&t=1s Author...

I actually happen to think that this book is one of the most beautiful ones I own. Here are some ideas on how you can use it/enjoy it too! Authors : Gianno Rodari & Alessandra Sanna Intended age of students : Key Stage 2/3 Source reference : 978-2-877-67452-2...

I love this story where the wolf tries to look so mean... but he really is not! Click here to watch an introduction to the story, by me, on my YouTube channel. Language of text : French Type of text : picture book Author or source : Ramadier & Bourgeau; l'école...
