"Strike at Charles Farm /Grève à la ferme de Charles" is the story of Farmer Charles and his animals. Charles faces a very large problem, the animals on his farm have gone on strike! They want to work less and have more. Discover how Charles resolves the problem!
"Strike at Charles Farm / Grève à la ferme de Charles" is a bilingual story that features both French and English text on the same page. My daughter is in French Immersion and I don’t speak French at all. We both love that she is able to read out loud to me, without being interrupted by me asking "What does that mean?”. I am able to follow along and even learn along with her.
Since I am unable to read French I asked bilingual teacher friend to go over the French portion with me, and was excited to hear that they are great translations. She suggested that this book has more advanced french words than "Are You Eating My Lunch? Manges-Tu Mon Lunch?” and is more suited to children in grades 2+.
"Strike at Charles Farm / Grève à la ferme de Charles" is a great story to share with your child. It teaches respect, hard work and responsibility. The kids and I chatted about what would happen if everyone in our house stopped doing our chores, just like the animals stopped doing theirs. What if Daddy stopped going to work? What if Mommy stopped doing the laundry? What if they stopped making their beds? We talked about how each of us doing our part in the family makes things run smoothly. When we do these things without complaining or being asked, it shows that we love and respect each other. It shows how each of us has an important job to do, even though it may not seem very fun or important.
I personally love how Charles deals with the strike. He doesn’t stomp his feet and get mad. He quietly listens to each animal’s wants and needs, then gives them a choice. I love how this teaches our children that they don’t have to respond to an unpleasant situation with anger, but a quiet and thoughtful response is sometimes all that is needed.
The story has another lesson for us…the grass isn’t always greener on the other side of the fence. When the animals were presented with a solution to their strike, they discovered they didn’t mind their life on the farm. The kids and I also chatted about how sometimes we feel that things aren’t fair or hard, but when we really
The illustrations are fun and colourful. Our collective favourite image is the one of the rooster and the hens. The amount of text on each page is excellent. Just enough not to intimidate readers. We did find some of the text difficult to read where it overlapped on some of the illustrations, but it was still very readable.
"Strike at Charles Farm / Grève à la ferme de Charles" is a fun story for young readers. It’s a great way to share learning languages with your little one. The author, Nicole Audet is a family doctor and bestselling author in Quebec. She has received several national and international literary awards.
