When you are shopping for a child, sometimes it can be hard to choose when most selections are in age ranges, or by minimum age. A book recommended for age 7 and "up" may be still interesting to a 9-year old, but not necessarily a 12-year old. Children are not ages 6-8, they are either 6, or 7, or years old. They are not 3-5, they are 3, or 4, or 5 years old. We've made it easy to find a book for the exact age of the child you are shopping for. We did this by researching recommended ages...

Looking for super-easy French children's books to get you motivated to read in French?  We're not talking about the list that come up on every search for "easy" books in French (Petit Prince, Petit Nicolas, etc.) Yes, if you have been studying for awhile these are relatively easy (and we've got them in stock!)  But if you are a TOTAL beginner and have never read at all in French that much text might be a bit intimidating to start off with.  Therefore, we've combed through all our books - from Children's picture books to Graphic novels - and pulled out all the easiest ones.  These texts work for total...

Most are written from children but there are  few for teens and adults that...
