Cadichon's Life Story - Les Mémoires de Cadichon from la comtesse de Ségur (150p) |
| Cadichon is not an ordinary donkey, he is neither "as stupid as
a donkey" nor "as obstinate as a donkey". He is a performing donkey
(this is the title he uses to sign the story of his life) whose
tricks are not always very kind; for not only is Cadichon a performing
donkey, but also a revengeful one. This is a large print French-English book, adapted from Les Mémoires d'un âne, by la Comtesse de Ségur. The English part tells the story using the past tenses, but the French part uses mostly the present of narration. It smoothes out the French conjugation. |

Carrot Top - Poil de Carotte by Jules RENARD (240p) |
| Parents love their children and children love their parents,
it is one of the bases of our society in which family units are
the building blocks. Myths are hard to debunk, this is the reason
why, nowadays, Poil de Carotte is as modern as it was when released.
The book goes on destroying icons: mothers are not loving mothers,
children are not innocent. Neither childhood nor family are paradises. |
