Très bien! This edition of Cricket Magazine drops into the fantastical world of France, with a cover from the banks of the Seine to a beautifully illustrated story about visiting the Norte Dame Cathedral in Paris and learning about the distinct architecture of France.
Through fictional and non-fictional stories, illustrations, cartoons, and more, you’ll learn about the people and history of France, including meeting Marie Antoinette, queen of France. Here you will separate fact from famous fiction about this royal character. Take a quick dip under the seas with some scuba divers and meet a colorful cod. With brief stints in Spain and England for more engaging and beautiful stories, you’ll continue across the globe to hear a Chinese tale as well as the fifth installment of a Russian folktale.
