Petite Pauline - ISBN: 978-1-897504-82-6

This play carries a good message, especially for the primary student who may often feel small and weak at times. In this story, the youngest daughter of the family who, throughout the play is not appreciated, is the one who saves the day!

Both core and immersion teachers have been thrilled with Histoires en action ! pour les tout petits 1A, 2A and 3A, the AIM program for young beginners. Now, Petite Pauline, the fourth-level kit, is available! This kit features a wonderful new original play by Wendy Maxwell. This tale points out that special things often come in small packages. Great new songs and raps!

The Histoires en action ! pour les tout petits series of kits have been created for the following reasons:

• to allow you to begin the AIM with very young students in core (FSL) or immersion programs, using plays that are shorter, simpler to learn and appropriate to the interests of the very young student;
• to allow you to provide a preparatory program at the preschool or early primary grade levels before beginning Histoires en action ! with older elementary students.
