The "book hunt": In groups of two or three, students look for a book that has a particular animal as a character, a title or a cover that evokes a theme, a feeling... This animation can be an opportunity to highlight the different illustration techniques. It may lead to the choice of one of the books found by the students and a reading aloud. 

What is this book about? : From a picture book, we will make the students guess the story through clues, such as the front cover, the illustrations one by one without the text, the front cover and the beginning of the story. Then at the end, read the book so that students know the "real" story. 

Story time: After a time of collective discovery of the books, you can propose a reading of albums aloud. Make the children comfortable so that everyone can make the most of the entertainment on offer. Be sure to present several books so that each child can appropriate the universe that suits them best. Books should be age-appropriate, illustrations should be visible from a distance (large format books). 

The French Briefcase
