Specially written by Danièle Bourdais and Sue Finnie to support young French learners, these non-fiction books consolidate core vocabulary and reinforce language patterns, while being packed full of information and photos of the French-speaking world which will broaden pupils’ perceptions and develop their intercultural understanding.

The Level 2 books are ideal for children in Years 4 and 5 who have been studying French for one or two years.
