Let’s read French
When we are in US I try to keep a balance between reading French and English stories. Of course I can find French books for kids in public libraries, even if it is not a place dedicated for children so we have to be very quiet (humm not so easy).
As usual there is the Alliance Française and then if I want to buy something I go on Amazon.ca, it is the place to buy all the great French books for kids or parents.
And in Paris I go on Amazon.fr. It is the biggest English library for kids, adults. I love it. You can find a great selection of books for great price, because most of the time they have new and used books. A book I read to my kids lately is Fancy Nancy and the boy from Paris, I really liked it and my kids too.

In the U.S., a good source for books in French for kids is “Les Petits Livres” (www.lespetitslivres.com). They rent books on-line “a la Netflix”. The books are shipped to your house and you mail them back when done. They have books for children from 0 to 12 years old arranged in 5 categories. It’s a business local to the Bay Area and it’s cheaper than to order books from a website in France or Canada.

Thank you for the tip Anne Marie, I didn’t know it. I know Netflix for DVD but didn’t know for books. I will do it next time.
