Bilingual Bear: French and English Children's Books


I'm always on the prowl for good French children's books. You'll have to check out the bilingual treasures I've discovered at Barefoot Books! These Bear books are very appealing and engaging to kids, both visually and linguistically. Designed for children ages 2-6, they can also be used for older novice level French learners. In fact, I've used Bear in a Square/L'ours dans un carré for many years to reinforce both shapes and numbers for students form preschool through 5th grade. The Bilingual Bear books are written by Stella Blackstone and illustrated by Debbie Harter. Enjoy!

The Bear books seem to be a great way to teach French. I was just wondering if there were any Spanish for kids versions available?
