My boys and I had a fun time reading about the little French mouse. I studied French in High School but that was the extent of it. It was fun to revisit the language and introduce my boys to how it sounds. However, with no pronunciation prompts, I had to take my best guess and never knew if I got it quite right. This does leave the book with a "cleaner" feel and not jumbled with markings. There is a list of the French words at the end of the book with their English definitions. After we read the book my boys enjoyed incorporating some of the French words into their play and communication with their dad. And that's what we want as we teach our children a new language, for them to speak it. Definitely a fun little story that keeps you wondering what comes next.
