Baguette Bear Learns the colours by Alison Mcrobbie is an educational children's book about a bear named Baguette. Baguette is making a painting, but suddenly he goes missing. Where could he be? There are red footprints, and if you follow them you will see Baguette, all in red. Then yellow footprints leading to him all in yellow. There are pink footprints leading to him all in pink. Then green footprints leading to him drenched in green paint. More footprints keep appearing, and the reader can follow them to Baguette Bear. The footprints appear in many colours: blue, purple, orange, and more. What colour will Baguette Bear appear in next?
I really enjoyed reading Baguette Bear Learns the colours by Alison Mcrobbie. The book is very educational and teaches young readers how to say many things in French, for example, it teaches phrases like "where are you?" as well as how to say colours in French. The book is a fun way to learn French, because it has likeable characters and is interactive. The book is well written. It would also be great in schools where they learn French, because colours and basic questions are something children would learn. The illustrations are very colorful and help to depict each scene very well. I liked that the back of the book provides a code so the young reader can go onto a website and complete activities. The book is well developed and thought out. I would definitely recommend this book to all young readers.
