My french is not so good but because of the story makes me curious, I could finish this book at once. This type of book is very helpful to learn the new language.

Bueno para familiarizarse con las descripciones físicas y la ropa, pero en sí, la historia es de las más flojas que he leído

Overdone.

The great thing about this series from CIDEB is that the audio files can be downloaded for free from the publisher’s webpage. This means you can read and listen at the same time - which is great when learning a language.
With this book, which is mainly dialogue, the audio isn’t just someone reading the text, it is dramatised like a radio play.

After each chapter there is a comprehension test, grammar notes and vocabulary - and it is all in French, so complete immersion. The answers, though, are unfortunately not in the book, but they are available on the CIDEB webpage as a pdf to download. Some of the exercises are quite challenging for A1 students and for some other exercises you really need a teacher to help you.

The level of the story is great for A1 learners, although at times the audio is pretty fast.
The story is quite simple, but not bad for an A1 reader: the language isn’t oversimplified - and so it reads/sounds quite natural - nor is it “dumbed down” for young readers, making it enjoyable for older readers, too.

All in all, I would recommend this book (and the series in general) as a great way of learning a second language through reading and listening.

To learn French, but fun to read the story.

Me lo mandaron leer por el instituto por qué si no jamás me lo hubiera leído.
No me gustó nada (aunque después saqué un 10 en el examen del libro xd)

Era de un nivel A1 de francés y creo que había ejercicios bastante complicados para los niños.
La historia no tenía mucho sentido en sí.
