The Mouse With the Beret: Intermediate Bilingual French-English Stories for Children

In The Mouse with the Beret: Intermediate Bilingual French-English Stories for Children, four original bilingual stories take young intermediate French learners on unforgettable journeys-from a metro train that travels to yesterday, to a mysterious beret-wearing mouse artist in a Paris café, a pirate's message that hides a story rather than treasure, and a frightened dragon who learns courage with the help of an unexpected feline friend. Written at intermediate B1-B2 level French with English translations, each story blends humour, warmth, and gentle mystery, inspired by authentic French storytelling traditions. Along the way, readers expand vocabulary, strengthen comprehension, and gain confidence through natural repetition and engaging dialogue. Perfect for classroom use or independent reading, this collection invites learners not just to study French, but to live it, laugh with it, and get lost in it. Text in French and English.
