Ten Frogs: Dix Grenouilles
March 12, 2009
Recently available in Australia is the new edition of Quentin Blake’s delightful book, Ten Frogs: Dix Grenouilles, whose simple text is written in both English and French. This will see another generation of Junior Primary children delighting in Blake’s distinctive illustrations and experimenting with the French language in simple counting and naming animals. To do the text justice, it is recommended that non-French speaking teachers go the extra yard and find out how to pronounce the French words correctly. Attempting the French “r” is fun and will have the little ones sparkling and feeling so “clever”!
