Books with author J N Paquet

THIS IS THE TRILINGUAL VERSION OF THE BOOK THAT INCLUDES: ENGLISH, FRENCH & PORTUGUESE. "The T-RRIBLE" is a new children's book for children aged 6-9, written and illustrated by Children's Author J.N. PAQUET (who is also the creator of “The Book of The Animals” series). “The T-RRIBLE” is the 62 page story of a very special boy called Oliver Bluemoon. What is very special about Oliver is the fact that he is bilingual. One day, a strange little monster, “The T-RRIBLE,” knocks at his door and asks him to travel to his planet because only HE can save his people from a gigantic asteroid that is about to destroy everything. Will Oliver succeed? With his new book “The T-RRIBLE,” 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 that shows to the children the importance of speaking other languages. Keen to go even further than ever before in promoting bilingualism, literacy and fun-learning, with “The T-RRIBLE,” J.N. PAQUET has decided to write the story in rhymes, so that it contributes to the children’s linguistic awareness and development. Through rhymes and the use of a specifically elaborated vocabulary, it also teaches the children the benefits of making decisions, developing ideas and thinking on their own. 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, discover their honey trees secret and where, more than anything else, there is no limit to anyone who is bilingual and loves books. The story promotes team working and friendship, among other moral values, and how these values can help avoid unnecessary conflicts. Although it was written for all children aged 6-9, it has a special appeal to the children who, living in bilingual families, sometimes don’t want to be bilingual anymore. “The T-RRIBLE” shows them that being bilingual is a great asset, it should always be cherished and it will be useful in their future lives. After all, bilingualism is more than speaking two languages. It is also about learning from others: their culture, their life and their differences. Learning from each other is all that is needed to build a better world… right here, on Earth!

Second 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.)

This is the story of little Jacob who was throwing yet another tantrum at home. Jacob was very, very upset. As he cried and screamed to get everyone’s attention, as usual, this time, his daddy came up with a distraction that totally disconcerted him. His daddy needed a hug! A funny little book for both children and parents that shows one should never underestimate the power of a hug to manage a child’s anger and make them feel loved and cared about, before it gets out of control. That priceless physical contact helps the child refocus their thoughts away from anger, gives them comfort and affection. Hug it out!

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 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...

[...] 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."
