The little family

A book by Margaret Wise Brown and Garth Williams. Originally published in 1964, La petite famille is a funny French learning manual for young English-speaking children. From everyday words, simple sentences are constructed, then the repetition and addition turn them into real sketches. Four deliciously absurd stories are presented in the book - La petite famille; feast ; the clown ; la belle dame -, supplemented by a bilingual lexicon of the vocabulary used. John Alcorn's colorful illustrations are the perfect accompaniment to these funny stories. The identical reissue of the book will allow young French-speaking readers to improve their reading and learn about English vocabulary.
