Birdie Bergamot Books Le Lapin et la Lune

J'ai acheté ce livre pour offrir à une maman de deux petits bouts. Ils ont adoré le livre. En le feuilletant moi-même avant de l'offrir, j'ai pu admirer le travail sur les illustrations. Très belle idée de cadeau à l'approche de Noël.

What I wanted

My children's (3 and 5) FAVORITE bedtime story. Pros: - The story is the perfect length to get the kids hooked up but short enough for them to keep focus the whole story (especially the little one). - The hand paintings are beautiful and soft for my 3 yo but intricate and detailed enough for my 5 yo to notice a cute detail to comment on or ask questions besides the words. - The story goes over a wide range of emotions that I have seen my kids express out loud: laughter, sadness, empathy, curiosity, wonder, relief, hapiness - I like that the story line is simple enough for the kids to understand the story but also has more depth to it. We (as adult readers) can explain a new aspect of it every time we read it (why does the peacock has this name, the concept of homonyms, meaning of French expressions...). I find that not 2 readings of this book end up being the same as it always starts a conversation that goes in a different direction. - The vocabulary (in French) that is various and there are just the right amount of "complex" words to make it educational but still easy to read. - I love the overall "moral" of the book and closing words that promote 'helping one another' as well as the whole character interactions during the book (call me old school but I like books where characters says 'Please' and 'Thank you' when they request something :)). Cons: - Being a popular item in our house, this book tends to be hard to locate around bedtime which generates some intense emotions (in all parties...). I am considering buying a second one as a backup so that the kids can check out their own copy whenever they want and misplace it at will :)

Libro precioso, con bonitas ilustraciones.
