As a mom of two energetic boys, bedtime can be quite the challenge! After wrangling them into their pajamas and finally settling down with a stack of books, I often find myself flipping through our library for something fresh and captivating. That’s when I stumbled upon Very Silly Useful French Words & Phrases Every Kid Should Know by two talented bilingual brothers. It promised to be fun, silly, and just the kind of distraction we all need some nights. And boy, was it a delightful adventure!
This whimsical bilingual book is packed with phrases that will make you chuckle, like “Why does that sloth have a cracked egg on its head?” and “The astronaut waves to the sleeping panda.” It’s a joyous mix of nonsense that upends how we usually think about language learning. With engaging illustrations and lighthearted phrases, it encourages young readers to explore a new language in a way that feels playful rather than academic.
My boys, ages 5 and 9, responded to this fantastic little book with wide eyes and laughter. They loved jumping back and forth between English and French, each new phrase prompting giggles and silly discussions about sloths and astronauts. “Mom! Can we teach Dad how to say ‘panda’ in French?” my youngest declared, eyes sparkling with mischief. It transformed our reading time into a language-learning session filled with charm, where the boys took the lead, parading around the house declaring their new vocabulary.
The illustrations are vibrant and oh-so-fun, easily capturing the attention of little ones. They’re bright and quirky, perfectly complementing the giggly nature of the text. As I read aloud, my boys were mesmerized by the colorful characters and playful antics, eagerly pointing out their favorite pictures. One of their favorite moments was the chaotic page filled with animals and their comical situations, which led to a back-and-forth of "What if a monkey had a crown?" and "What if the sloth was the king?"
One memorable line that brought about contagious laughter was, “Why is the llama wearing sunglasses?” It became a running joke in our home, woven into our daily conversations. It’s a rare find when a book provides not only educational value but also room for humor and imagination. As a mom, I cherish these laughs and chats that bring us closer together while fostering a love for language.
