Not Just for Halloween

If you have a child learning French or if you are a child deep inside (also earning French), I recommend the collection of comic strips called ‘Petit Vampire’ or in English ‘Little Vampire’. I have just read the first one of the series and it was lovely, such a tender and lovely story although it was full of ghosts, vampires and creatures of the night.

In the current situation in France and the tensions created by the recent terrorist attacks, I would like to recommend another series of comic strips, still by Joann Sfar: ‘Le Chat du Rabbin’ or in English “Rabbi’s Cat’. It has an interesting take on religion and it’s done in a very subtle way. 

Happy Halloween if you are celebrating it.
