Translation not accurate
The english translation is not faithful to the text in french which render the book pointless....

Disappointed
Foolishly I assumed that this book of fairy tales would be ideal for my beginner to intermediate level understanding of French, but I was wrong. This book would be better suited to someone who can already have a conversation in French...I'm guessing A' level to degree standard. Also the black and white illustrations are particularly uninspiring.

Ouvrage de base
L'ouvrage est destiné à la lecture, de préférence aidée par les parents, de récits et contes bien connus. Les illustrations laissent à désirer. Le livre conviendra à des enfants de 12-13 ans ou de petits adolescents.

Great for multi-age learning, wonderfully adapted stories.
I am now 2 years deep in the journey of learning French myself and teaching it at my homeschool co-op. I've found on-the-go kindle reads to be a great fit for improving my language skills, and choosing scrolling stories and guides over social media. I decided to snag these fairy tales in French and English because I felt it would be a good choice for my co-op lessons. The children already know many of the tales in this text as the selection is a nice mix of common and unique stories. We have read them through the lens of other cultures prior, as well, which will make this next material less obscure. It was a perfect choice, as I imagine their innate knowledge of the stories will make digesting it in french that much simpler. I went through the book to ensure it's what I was looking for before planning lessons around it, and as a moderate speaker/reader, I highly suggest this to even novice students hoping to sharpen their French reading skills. The way the stories are organized makes retention and practical application possible, even for young audiences! I also found the audio files for the kindle version to be SO useful in a group and personal setting. This takes reading comprehension a bit further and enhances speaking/listening capacity without the repetitive annoyance one can find in an online language class. If you got the kindle version, again, MAKE SURE TO GET THOSE DOWNLOADS. They are available right at the front of the book, and especially if you're learning for application, is it the way to go. Books like these are really what learning a new language should be like. Fun, relatable, familiar, applicable, versatile. Looking forward to sharing these stories with my students!
