Books with author J N Paquet

Meet Antonia, your children's new best interactive friend! After reading "My First Smartbook," your children won't read a book the same way again. This is the first interactive book designed for children. The first book that responds to touch, speech and moves. Children will love sharing that book with their friends and reading it together. The book has been designed to be both a fun activity book and a great bedtime storybook! Finally, let's not forget that this is a bilingual book. Another great way for bilingual children to have fun and learn at the same time. (The book is part of J.N. Paquet's Fun-Learning Programme: http://www.FunLearningProgramme.com) Created by the author of the popular "The Book of The Animals" series.

5 BOOKS IN 1!! This collection book includes the five episodes that started the series: - Episode 1. These Animals... Don't Want To Wash! - Episode 2. These Animals... Don't Want To Eat! - Episode 3. These Animals... Don't Want To Sleep! - Episode 4. These Animals... Don't Want To Go To School! - Episode 5. These Animals... Don't Want To Share! 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... Don't Want to Get Vaccinated!” (2012) The books are all available in either bilingual or monolingual versions: - Bilingual versions: English-French, English-Portuguese, English-Italian, English-Spanish, English-Swedish, English-Creole, English-Japanese... 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.)

BRAND NEW MINI SERIES FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN (AGED 0-3) In this episode, children will discover the their favourite animals don't want to wash. But children eventually know that washing is important, especially if it is to get a kiss from their mummy! As with all the other books in the series, children will discover some new animals, new words and new situations. The book makes fun learning something essential in the child's general learning process.

THE BOOK OF THE ANIMALS CHRISTMAS SPECIAL! It is that time of the year when the entire world comes to a halt to celebrate the most festive period together: Christmas! But what is actually Christmas all about? Decorations? Presents? Has the true spirit of Christmas long time gone? The children’s favourite friends return in this joyful little book to explain that Christmas is about family, friends, sharing and love! FUN-LEARNING CHRISTMAS 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. MORE ABOUT THE BOOK OF THE ANIMALS The books are currently available in paperback and in eBook format for Kindle (Amazon) and Kobo (WHSmith) and on all other tablets via downloadable Apps. The series’ official website is also full of information about the books and where to find them (Official website: www.TheBookOfTheAnimals.com).

"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! FINDING THE BOOK The book is available both in paperback and eBook formats. It can be ordered online from any Amazon website. It is also on sale worldwide from all leading book retailers (Barnes & Noble, Waterstones, WHSmith, Books etc, Angus & Robertson, etc). The eBook format can be ordered on Kindle, Kindle Touch, Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Fire (via Amazon, Waterstones, etc), on Kobo, Kobo Touch, Kobo Arc, Kobo Glo (WHSmith, Indigo, Angus & Robertson, Livraria Cultura, etc) and on all tablets through Google Play (for iPad, iPhone, Sony, Samsung Galaxy Tabs, etc) or via downloadable eReading Apps for tablets, PC and Mac.
