Excerpt from the tale:
This week’s favourite subject had been Mouse. Mouse was different. Mouse was an animal.
Le sujet préféré de cette semaine avait été Souris. Souris était différent. Souris était un animal.
Nobody really knew Mouse’s real name but it must be Mouse. He had such a mousy face; his legs looked like a mouse’s legs and he was so easily frightened.
En réalité, personne ne connaissait le vrai nom de Souris mais cela devait être Souris. Sa tête était comme celle d'une souris, ses pattes aussi ressemblaient à celles d'une souris et un rien l'effrayait.
Colin Hann and Pedro Páramo are friends and partners in the LingoLibros adventure. LingoLibros is a young and developing company. Our aim is to produce quality bilingual books with an easy to follow parallel text, at an affordable price. We believe that they will be of particular benefit to parents with bilingual children who hope to develop their child's understanding of their native tongues. Our books are, so far, short stories with amusing illustrations suitable for reading aloud to young children in a single language or in a combination of two languages. Older children can enjoy reading these stories by themselves to learn and practice their second language. Students with a basic or intermediate knowledge of a foreign language will find these books very helpful in developing their vocabulary and understanding of the second language. We hope you benefit from and enjoy reading these bilingual tales.
