How it begins
Bonjour ! Je suis un VIRUS, cousin de la Grippe et du Rhume. Je m'appelle Coronavirus. J'adore voyager... et sauter de main en main pour dire "Bonjour". Tapez m'en cinq ! Avez-vous entendu parler de moi ? Oui ? Non…Opening lines quoted from the openly licensed book (CC BY 4.0).
Reading together in French
- Read it aloud first, pointing at the pictures; then let your child “read” the pictures back to you.
- Ask open questions: what happened, how did the character feel, what would you do?
- Growing up with two languages? Talk about the story in whichever language feels easiest — the understanding carries over.
