送給祖父母的禮物

Bought this for my two kids to work through with their grandparents during a visit, and it was a hit. The whole story is in French, so it doubled as reading practice, and the part where Suzanne and Paul empty their piggy bank sparked a nice chat about saving up for gifts.

The sibling teamwork angle is what sold me — Suzanne and Paul pooling their piggy bank money to buy their grandparents a gift is such a sweet setup for teaching kids about saving. My 7-year-old asked to read it twice and started planning her own surprise for grandma. The French text is simple enough

The piggy bank detail got my kids talking about how much they'd actually save up for their grandparents. It's in French so we read it together, and the decisions Suzanne and Paul have to make sparked a nice little argument about what to buy. Cute story for teaching kids that gifts take real thought.
