Book Synopsis

This book is a total blast!

How can you tell? Because it's a boum (party) in France!

And that's how this cookin' little book makes learning French as fun as a pun—by introducing new French words with jokes, quips, and a few helpings of pure fromage (cheese). Language innovator Sue Fenton knows it's a lot easier to remember something when it brings a smile (or even a groan)—so take a break from all those vocabulary flashcards and get a lot of merci (thanks) in return!

Say "au revoir" to boring lessons and "bonjour" to laugh-out-loud learning

What saying do you get when you cross Obi-Wan Kenobi with a French bear?
"May the ours be with you." (un ours = bear)
What do French people use to scour their belly buttons?
Nom-Brillo pads (un nombril = belly button)
What is green and attends Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?
Haricot Potter (un haricot = bean)
