La Chenille Qui Fait Des Trous

I bought this because my husband speaks French and is planning on getting a phD in French. English, I should say, is his native language but he has studied in France and speaks it fairly fluently. In any case, I purchased this for our collection that we're starting of French children's books. This is so cute! It's obviously a translation of the English text, but my husband said the translation is great and he smiled as he read through the story in French. I purchased the board book version and love the quality and size! It even has the holes in the fruit like the English versions I've seen. (Illustrations are the same, of course.) Highly recommend since we couldn't be happier with the product.

I love this cute book! The illustrations are simple and delightful.

When I was a young child learning how to read English, I loved this book. The artwork was pretty and the story was fun and simple. The French version offered no disappointments! However, this copy is quite smaller than I expected, perhaps because I had a big hardcover copy when I was younger. This is a small, thin book; that should not matter, though. The content is superb as always.

We got this book because we are trying to teach our 5 yr old some basic French. This book is great for naming objects and days of the week the repetitive nature of the ryhmes make it easy for the child to learn. Since she knew and loved the english version, this was a great way to learn some french. I recomend this with Ours Brun, Dis-Moi (Brown Bear What Do You See), Bonsoir Lune (Goodnight Moon) and Devine Combien Je t Aime (Guess how much I love you). These are books your child already know by heart and are a great way to introduce a second language to your young child.

This translates beautifully from the English to the French I use this with my young French students every year.It has color words, days of the week and food words… a lot of basics. Plus just a charming story. Interesting to talk about why the author (?) chose such a different title translation.

Book is a classic. So happy to find it in French. Book arrived very carefully packaged which was much appreciated.

In general, I am not a big Eric Carle fan. Some of his books I do not care for at all, while others I do like. This one, however, I think is wonderful. It is my favorite of his books. I like how it incorporates the days of the week, different foods, and the life cycle of a caterpillar. I like that my toddler can learn all these things in French, and he likes being able to put his little fingers through the holes made by the hungry caterpillar. I think this is a GREAT book to have in one's French children's library. The only thing keeping me from rating it five stars is the quality of the binding. It appears to be very flimsy/cheap, and I seriously wonder how long it would last if I allowed my three-year-old to look at it on his own. I really wish Amazon would offer this classic in hardcover, or at least in a better quality paperback.

Ma fille adore et me réclame quotidiennement la lecture de cette très jolie histoire. La reliure du livre est particulière adaptée avec des pages à différentes tailles pour compter les trous. Et j’aime que le format soit idéal pour emporter facilement en voyage.

Love this book. My kids read it at the kindergarten and love it so I bought the French version to read with them

Les enfants adorent ce livre.
