A funny way to learn and a funny way to teach. As everyone knows how difficult it can be to explain to young children how important it is to share things... --- THE BOOK OF THE ANIMALS: FUN LEARNING FOR CHILDREN AND PARENTS What are certainly the most occurring moments in a parent’s life? When their child doesn’t want to wash, eat, sleep, go to school, share, take medicine, get vaccinated... And what can a parent answer to these refusals? The successful “Book of The Animals” bilingual children’s books series was created with the aim to help both parents and children to discover the benefits of washing, eating, sleeping, going to school, sharing, taking medicine, getting vaccinated... in a fun as well as educational manner. Since the books are also bilingual, parents will enjoy the teaching and the interactivity they can gain from reading them with their children. THE AUDIENCE The books are geared towards children aged 2-5, before elementary/primary school. They will likely be bilingual children whose parents want to encourage the learning of their two current languages. They will also be children whose parents want to teach a language at a young age. Some teachers have also been using the books of the series as a way to teach a second language to children, with themes easy for them to both understand and memorise. THE CURRENT BOOKS There are currently seven books in the series. Each episode brings on new animals, new words, new situations and new stories. - Ep.1. “These Animals... Don't Want to Wash!” (2008) - Ep.2. “These Animals... Don't Want to Eat!” (2009) - Ep.3. “These Animals... Don't Want to Sleep!” (2010) - Ep.4. “These Animals... Don't Want to Go to School!” (2011) - Ep.5. “These Animals... Don't Want to Share!” (2011) - Ep.6. “These Animals... Don't Want to Take their Medicine!” (2012) - Ep.7. “These Animals...

More versions still to come! Check out the official website: www.TheBookOfTheAnimals.com REVIEW "The Book of the Animals is a planned series of illustrated books for young children. [...] These delightful books tell the story of what happens when the animals in the stories, like many young children, don’t want to eat and don’t want to wash... The books are very suitable both for reading to young children and for older children to use to learn to read in both languages. They might even persuade them to wash and eat their dinner! The repetitive structure is supportive of children learning new words and the illustrations work well alongside the text to help understanding of unfamiliar words. I can easily imagine young children demanding repeat readings and enjoying learning the text by heart as many children do with favourite stories. Children learning to make up and write their own stories might well want to write a personalised version, using the structure as a prop. I think the stories would work well both in the home and in the classroom."

First episode in the series. This book is different from other children’s books, since its aim is to get children to make drawings from the story. After each paragraph, the adult will be able to guide the child into drawing the story on the opposite page. The child is then free to imagine and recreate the story. This book was conceived with the idea of bringing more interactivity between the adult and the child. The adult should stop after each paragraph, help the child understand the meaning of the paragraph and finally guide the drawing. The child’s imagination will do the rest! (Note: This is a story + activity book, therefore there are no illustrations inside the book.)

"The T-RRIBLE" is back in a new special Christmas adventure. A naughty T-RRIBLE wants to ruin Christmas! He has stolen both Father Christmas’ Nice List and Naughty List! What is going to happen? Will Oliver and The T-RRIBLE save the day? With his new book “The mini T-RRIBLE 2,” children’s author J.N. PAQUET, as in his previous children’s books, has created yet another very special story which stimulates the children to engage with their own imagination and have an enjoyable reading experience, both with their parents, teacher or educator and on their own. Its educational aim is to drive the bilingual fun-learning and the reading comprehension through an extraordinary story. Among other moral values, the story promotes team working and friendship, explains how important it is to accept and embrace our own differences as well as the others’, and most importantly teaches about redemption and forgiveness. The colourful handmade illustrations, all created and painted by the author himself, open the children to his colourful new world where they will, episode after episode, get to meet some funny little creatures, visit their lands and kingdoms, and discover their honey trees secret. Although it was written for all children aged 3-6, it has a special appeal to the children living in bilingual families. Learning from each other and accepting one another is all that is needed to build a better world… right here, on Earth!

MONOLINGUAL VERSION - ENGLISH ONLY. The animals return with yet another fun-learning book, "The Book of The Animals - Alphabet Together" for young children to learn their alphabet with their favourite friends! This year, more than ever, parents want to buy decent gifts for their little ones rather than something which is going to give them 15 minutes entertainment on Christmas Day and never gets played with or looked at again. Parents want something to capture their children’s imagination instead. Wishing for a Fun-Learning Christmas? Don’t look further! It’s going to be a “Book of The Animals” Christmas. The popular bilingual children’s books series is indeed expected to be one of Amazon and other leading book retailers’ top sellers this Christmas, thanks to its low price tag (less than £10 in paperback for a bilingual book and less than £2 in eBook format) and mainly its universal appeal. The collection of seven books about the children’s favourite animals who, episode after episode, refuse to do what they are told looks set to make it as unexpected contenders for this year’s Christmas bestseller. Written by author and journalist J.N. Paquet and handmade illustrated, the delightful “Book of The Animals” series tells the story of what happens when the animals in the stories (a frog, a cow, a fox, a cat, a dog…), like many young children, don’t want to wash, eat, sleep, go to school, share, take their medicine and get vaccinated. The series was created with the aim to help both parents and children to discover the benefits of washing, eating, etc., in a really fun and educational manner. And the subjects are virtually endless! The books are also bilingual, which means that parents will enjoy the teaching and the interactivity they can gain from reading them with their children. There is something special about these books and one can only imagine how much it could benefit to so many children, both for the message they convey (wash, eat, sleep, etc.) and for the bilingual function of the books. That’s what J.N. Paquet calls “Fun-Learning.” “The books are very suitable both for reading to young children and for older children to use to learn to read in both languages. The repetitive structure is supportive of children learning new words and the illustrations work well alongside the text to help understanding of unfamiliar words. I can easily imagine young children demanding repeat readings and enjoying learning the text by heart as many children do with favourite stories. Children learning to make up and write their own stories might well want to write a personalised version, using the structure as a prop. The stories would work well both in the home and in the classroom.” --Dr Raymonde Sneddon, Research Fellow at the University of East London. “The Book of The Animals – The Beautiful Collection” by J.N. Paquet (RRP £69.99 paperback & £9.99 eBook – all seven episodes included in one book) is available to order now from www.amazon.co.uk and on sale nationally from all leading book retailers from 15th November 2012.
