Pierre and Paul: Avalanche: a story told in two languages by Caroline Adderson, illustrated by Alice Carter. PICTURE BOOK. OwlKids, 2020. $19. 9781771473279
BUYING ADVISORY: EL - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
After a hard day of backyard explorer imaginings, Paul and Pierre are ready for some serious snacks – as long as it isn’t salad! As they build their sandwich they become very creative – so inventive that disaster is imminent. In fact, it may have to salad after all.
Adderson and Carter work together to create just enough written and illustrated clues that a patient reader can figure out the French words – mostly. I wish there were a translation or dictionary in the back. The publisher, Owlkids, is in Toronto, so the book makes total sense. If I had a French immersion class in my school, I would include it too.
