Entertaining and educative stories
Although these stories are targeted for beginners, I am an intermediate learner (B1) and enjoyed them as a good review. I liked that they are presented in short segments followed by a vocabulary list of highlighted words in preceding text so one can easily learn and review. I found the parallel presentation at end of each chapter of the French and English especially helpful in easily verifying comprehension and learning the nuances of French expression as opposed to English.
Great book for beginners
This book, like others from this publisher, is a fun and natural way to learn written French and along with new words, all while having fun. The stories were engaging and come with a list of definitions for potentially new words for the reader (which are in bold in the text). I especially liked the format of the book. Each chapter starts with the story entirely in French, followed by a quiz to check comprehension, and then the story is repeated with a parallel English version, along with the quiz presented again in both languages. As a current resident of Lyon, where these stories take place, I appreciated the authenticity of this city that's captured in these stories. I highly recommend this book for those wanting to learn the French language and French culture.

Stories
I took French a long time ago, but I still remember some words. The last time I checked, I could understand and read children’s books.
I did understand the story from the basic French words I knew and got some answers right. The English translation at the end of the chapter is very much appreciated, I found it very helpful.
