The monkey that changes colour.

Le Singe Qui Change De Couleur has been written for children aged 7 - 11 by a qualified and experienced foreign languages teacher, but the lovely storyline and colorful pictures may also interest children learning French of other ages. After all, we all enjoy stories!
In the story, a monkey eats a multicolored flower and then he doesn’t feel well. The next day he eats some peas, and he turns green! He keeps on changing color when he eats something of a different color. But what colors will he turn? Will he ever return to his usual color? Read to the end of the book to see what happens!

This book is an ideal way of practicing the French words and phrases for general conversation, days of the week, colors, some food and opinions about things you eat. At the back of the book is a French - English translation of the story.

Vincent's Rainbow. [bilingual book]

Learn colors in French and English with Vincent Van Gogh.

This volume combines Vincent van Gogh's love for painting and the French language in a work that can entertain and educate parents and children alike.
Even-sided pages have the original painting, plus a sentence in each language describing the scene. On the odd-sided pages, thumbnails of the work can be found with hues separated. For instance, "Starry Night" has three thumbnails: yellow for the stars, blue for the sky, and green for the foliage.
The selection of paintings includes "Starry Night", "Bedroom in Arles", "The Night Café", and more. Most of the paintings were done during Vincent's years in France, a period that gave us the spellbinding style for which he is known to this day. Color, language, and imagination come together in "Vincent".

Note: In French, an adjective's spelling is influenced by its corresponding subject. "Green" will always be "green" in English; in French, however, "vert" can also be "verte" and "vertes". The "e" is added when the subject is feminine, the "s" when both plural and feminine, and simply "s" when plural and masculine.

LDF Notes: Bilingual version. Intermediate beginning readers level.
