If you can’t physically travel to France, enjoy the next best thing–read some wonderful children’s books with your kids, and settle in with some sweet or savory crêpes to experience some French culture.
Our book list this week features some of the very best children’s books about France, plus a free printable pack of activities to go along. Try counting in French, make some French crêpes with our recipe, and use the decorated notebook page to write your own France-inspired story. Oh, and we also have a library checklist for you with all of this week’s books, so you can head to the library and find just what you’re looking for. Have fun learning about France!

Thanks so much, Michele. I am so happy you stopped by!
My middle son went through a France craze and we read almost all of these books; though I’ll have to show him a few of these since they’re new to us. Thanks, as always, for hosting.
That’s cool, Mother of 3. My oldest loves learning French and learning about French culture. Thanks so much for stopping by!
So many great choices! And some I need to go read.
Thanks so much, L. E.! 🙂
