One Third Stories: Friendly Mermaids and Snotty Dinosaurs

Hi! It's Emily again, and today I am doing a bilingual book review of a book that is in two languages at the same time.

What is the book called? 
The great Français word search

Who is your favourite character and why?
My favourite character is the mermaid (la sirène), because she is beautiful and I want to be a mermaid so it makes me want to be in the story.

What do you like about the book and why?
I liked the bit when the girl (la fille) meets the woman (la femme) because she uses a paintbrush to paint the woman (la femme) so she had some colour.

What do you not like about the book and why?
I didn’t like the bit when the dinosaur (le dinosaure) was snotty because I don’t like green slimy snot.

Why is this book special?
It is special because it’s in French and English and not many books are in French and English.

It would be even better if …
It would be even better if the witch (la sorcière), stole her words and she hid the words at the circus (le cirque).

I thought it was really clever how the book started out completely in English and then introduced more and more French words.

This book is available in German, French, Spanish and Italian.
