Reading enjoyment for beginners in the dtv bilingual series. The aim of these books is to reduce apprehension about the foreign language. At the same time, encountering the foreign language should also be an encounter with the literature of the country – and it should be fun to engage with it. This collection takes you on an enjoyable journey through familiar rhymes, riddles, tongue twisters, and jokes known to both children and adults in France, as well as short and simple literary texts and modern poetry. If a word is missing, a glance at the opposite page is enough for understanding.
