Phiipp Winterberg & Nadja Wichmann - Am I small? Je suis petite, moi?

Am I small? Je suis petite, moi? This is a charming book for introducing early stage French. The illustrations are bright and otherworldly, and employ some nice mixed media at points.

I like that the book is in dual language as not only does it make it less threatening to new language learners, but it lends itself well to paired work where one child could read the French, the other the English, then switch over.

The book introduces set phrases which can be easily absorbed into students' vocabulary whilst simultaneously expanding their knowledge of vocabulary relating to size.

I would recommend this book for independent reading for new language learners, but it could be presented to the class first to model pronunciation.
