Learn to read with the classics! With words in English and French. This book is a mini adaptation of the classic adventure novel by the French author Jules Verne, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea follows the adventures of Professor Pierre Aronnax, a French marine biologist, as he and several others travel in a ship bound to destroy a 'sea-monster'. This 'monster' is in fact the Nautilus, a secret submarine built and manned by the brilliant and furtive Captain Nemo. The "20,000 leagues" of the title refers not to the lowest depth reached by the submarine, but to the distance traveled while under water. This children's book adaption, originally done for a board book, has beautifully done illustrations along with words done in English and French to challenge your young reader.
