My Amazing Body at School/Mon incroyable corps a' l'e'cole

K-Gr 2—This book, one in a series of titles, sticks to a simple format: large, bright photographs of children illustrate the spare bilingual, large sans-serif text. Close-up photos of an arm, leg, hand, foot, mouth, and eye (in that order) appear first with the question, "What is it?" As the narrative progresses, the information becomes more specific ("a foot," "Louka's foot," and "Louka uses his foot to stretch," and in French it translates even more specifically as, "Louka uses his foot to stretch his legs out in front of him"). The six body parts are defined in both languages on page one, but the second brief final glossary doesn't indicate part of speech, or French gender, a regrettable lapse (it also randomly italicizes some nouns and verbs but not others). There is a final list of comprehension questions in English only.
