[Kayla · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is my 5th French book since my french classes has started and I must say out of the five books this was the best for my current level of French. It was a cute story about a little boy and the moon. I could understand what was going on while reading it in French to my husband (who is French Canadian).
The pictures were beautifully done and help suggest what's going on in the story - great for children and learner readers alike.
I own a few of the "Simon" books in the series and look forward to be able to read them.

I really enjoyed this book! I love the little details on the left side of the page and then you find it in the printed page.

Perfect details! I love the moon Too. This is a diamond in the rough for me!!

Originally Written in French under "Simon au clair du lune! " It made me smile today!
