A first introduction for young children depicting the key moments in French history. This large book is arranged in clear double-page spreads, each covering one epoch, from the beginnings to modern times. A chronological frieze runs along the bottom of the pages, giving young readers their first sense of the elapse of historical time and, in the case of children in Britain, a first chance to map the events of French history to their own.

This book has been selected as a core resource for Year 6 of Catherine Cheater's already hugely successful Scheme of Work for French in the primary school.
