After the top 10 DVDs for kids, here's my list of recommended books for bilingual toddlers. Quite handy before Xmas, isn't ? (Pepette, they might come in handy very soon !)
1- The complete works of Beatrix Potter. A friend gave me the collector box for the birth of my first child. A requisite in any baby's bedroom.
2- Petit Ours Brun. Little Brown Bear on the potty, Little Brown Bear doesn't want to have a nap, Little Brown Bear says no... All kids under three will identify to these neat square books.
3- Katie Morag. Charming stories set in the Hebrides.
4- Winnie the Pooh. Before I had kids, I thought Winnie the Pooh was only a naff bed cover pattern. But it's originally a very nice set of stories written by A.A. Milne back in 1926.
5- Pat the Bunny. An American vintage classic that kids can touch and play with.
6- Maisy. Or Mimi in French : the perfect companion to learn colours or shapes.
7- Les aventures de Tintin. Even if they can't read, children love the adventures of the Belgian reporter, thanks to the realistic drawings and all the animals, countries and means of transport that fill the pages.
8- Le livre des bruits. L'âne fait hi han, le rhume fait atchoum. Et l'escargot ? Il ne fait rien. Soledad Bravi's minimalist design is a must.
9- Shhhh ! Don't speak loud or you will wake up the giant. A superbly drawn album and a great suspense too.
10-Sock Monkey goes to Hollywood. The woolly puppet is invited to an award ceremony. But it has to have a bath !
Feel free to add your suggestions.

Il va falloir que je commence à imprimer tes top 10 ! Et envoyer la liste au Pere Noel :)
Je ne voudrais pas dire, mais pour moi il manque L'Ours Paddington dans ta liste !
