The focus of this book is summer holidays, with photographs from the seaside and the countryside. According to the results of a survey published by the organisation Protourisme in March 2015, 63% of French families go away on holiday, most of them in the summer. Most travel by car and choose a destination in France, with only 27% travelling abroad. It is common to stay with friends or family. The linguistic focus here is numbers 1-6. Pupils who are familiar with counting orally may be surprised that the written forms of these numbers are very different from what they might have imagined. It is useful to establish the correct sound-spelling links early on. Pupils can easily and quickly read this short, attractive, highly-illustrated French book for a sense of enjoyment and achievement. The book can be used to introduce children to reading in French and help them to improve their reading skills. It strongly supports Intercultural Understanding by making a point of revealing, via the texts and the pictures, various cultural aspects of life in France or French-speaking countries. This book is one of six Brilliant French Information Books at Level 1.
