The various books by Marc Thill are designed for French students from 8-12 but are also quite useful for foreign students and practically all anyone who knows French beyond absolute beginner level.Though I know French quite well and can handle Maigret mysteries as well as other adult books, I find these useful for reinforcing spoken patters and everyday language.
Unless one lives in a francophone territory and uses the language every day, it is always necessary to keep reinforcing that which is already learned but not always remembered correctly when the mouth is set into motion.
Of course if the material is boring or stupid, then all is for naught. Thil's stories are quite readable, IMO.

Paired with two French-learning apps and my French textbook, I think I have the next three semesters of French in the bag! I bought this and many other French books to go along with my coursework. The stories are easy to understand and not as difficult as an "adult" French book for beginners. A good way to get the pronunciation and "flow" of the language without repeating, "Je suis un americain" a hundred times (so boring!).

This is a great book for an intermediate French student. It isn't difficult, but it does use a lot of idioms. This didn't bother me because I want to learn French as it's really spoken. But it might be hard going for a beginner. The stories are short and fun to read. Many of them are incidents, not really stories with a plot.

The stories are cute and simple enough to be approachable. Some but not too many idioms makes it interesting. Very noce reading this with kindle.

Nice little French stories, mostly in the present tense. I am fluent in conversational French, but these very short and cute stories did provide aN opportunity to pick up some new vocabulary and exposure to some different ways of self expression.

Great for getting back into the French language. Translated at the touch. Wish it also translated idioms. That would make it more than perfect.

Good stories for learning and practicing your French. Since they are for children, they also serve for an beginning - intermediate student to practice and improve their French.

Engaging, Helpful and Easy to Understand
Reviewed in Canada on March 2, 2020
Like ALL of Marc Thil's wonderful books, I found this one to be helpful in my (long) journey of becoming French/English bilingual. The stories are engaging and sweet, and each one allows the reader to see various verbs, tenses, and structures in "real life" situations -- SOOO much more entertaining than studying conjugation tables! The short stories are a good place for an intermediate student to start, before moving on to Marc's longer, mystery-series stories. I love these books, I just wish there were more.

AMUSSANT ET ÉDUCATIF
Reviewed in Spain on May 6, 2018
C'est le sixième livre de Marc Thil que j'ai lu. Donc, cela signifie que j'aime vraiment ses histoires. Elles sont très amusantes et très pédagogiques, parfaites pour les enfants (pour le message et le vocabulaire) et pour les élèves de FLE A2, B1 et B2 (comme moi).
