Lapin is Hungry

Tania and Olivier Czajka

A bilingual picture book that's quite unlike any other, Lapin is Hungry provides a gentle and fun introduction to French language and culture for young children.

Lapin is hungry. Very hungry. But what does he want to eat? Join Tania and her Parisian friends in this charming bilingual quest to find the perfect food for a little rabbit. You will also learn some French words on the way!

The majority of the text in the story - the narration - is English, with simple French words and phrases introduced in the short, simple dialogue, making it very accessible for children with no previous knowledge of French. The story helps children to learn and practise names of animals, foods and key phrases in French, such as greetings and saying yes, no, please and thank you.
