In commemoration of International Children’s Day, we thought it would be great to write about the best French books for kids in 2022. Multiple studies show that reading can strengthen the brain and improve school performance through improved vocabulary, communication skills, prediction skills, and knowledge acquisition.
Our librarian has selected French books for kids that can help children improve their French and can help boost their reading skills.
These books are an easy read and stories adapted to children four years and younger that are easy to follow and can help them start acquiring French words.
T´choupi is the story of a pinguin named Tchoupi. These books tell his daily adventures, from going to school to visiting a farm. Through Tchoupi, you can relive the different experiences: Potty training and being afraid of thunderstorms. There are usually short 25 page stories.
