La Famille de Berthe introduces Berthe the Witch's rather unusual family. It is written in simple French with large pictures, but the pictures, games and the vocabulary list at the back offer both simple and more advanced language work. Children will enjoy meeting the three-eyed fish and the magician whose rabbits are out of control. There is a happy families game to be made and a word search. This book works well with Les Amis de Berthe as the Happy Families game can be used in describing games.
