Bonjour! After a long winter spent indoors,
Escargot can’t wait to look outside for the first signs of Spring. Will
he find a new friend in the fluffy white bunny he meets along the way?(goodreads summary)
Escargot is tired of winter and seems to be suffering from a bit of cabin fever. He is ready to find signs of spring and asks the reader to come along to help him search. What he thinks is a snow bank is actually a very cute fluffy bunny who wants to be friends. Escargot seems to be a bit annoyed with her until he sees the bunny brought him a basket full of goodies. He realizes that his rudeness and sadness must have been caused by hunger.
A cute interactive book that makes for a good read aloud. Some of the French words need a little practice though because there a few tricky ones to pronounce. The illustrations are colorful and the bunny is so sweet with the most adorable eyes. Escargots french flair is mixed with humor that kids will find funny and good for a few giggles. Good opportunity to talk about feelings since Escargot seems a bit grouchy towards the bunny. But all-in-all, a nice story to welcome in spring for the little ones. I think this is a "just right book" for ages 3-7.~
