    This book was such an unexpected surprise! And two stories in one book! What a special concept! The first story starts out introducing the town with such a lovely wholesome pace— my son enjoyed that the author involved him in counting boats and bridges and such- but then it goes into a wonderful story as something unexpected happens and the children get to make a difference. Everything about this book is gentle and kind and has an unusual realness that is rare in many book! We loved it.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Controversial and weird topic for new mothers and little children.
    Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2020
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I liked #1 however this one I should have returned but I am donating instead. I don’t want to read to my baby about C-Sections. The Slowville kids learn about a sheep getting a C-Section.

    C-Sections are just such a bizarre and controversial (due to their overuse) topic to read about to small children.

    My crooked, dismally incompetent private obstetrician John Milton Hutson at Weill Cornell New York Presbyterian dishonestly forced one on me for manufactured reasons, refusing to ripen my cervix even though he is a fellow of ACOG. I never could have seen it coming. This doctor whom I had wanted to trust I came to learn with shock and horror is dishonest, incompetent, lazy and greedy. I am not inclined to be reminded about C-Sections and I am definitely not the only one.

    C Section rates have been going up along with related complications and maternal deaths even as hospitals profit and patients’ rights are in practice entirely ignored.

    At least 30% of women in the US say that they are severely traumatized by their Labor and Delivery experience.

    REALLY, OF ALL THE TOPICS??? C-SECTIONS???????

    The book has some good chances for interaction where children can point out different things they see on the page. There are many animals that you get introduced to which helps kids become more comfortable with identifying animals. It is also bilingual which is a nice touch.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A fun way to learn another language.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 21, 2019
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    This second book in a fun bilingual French / English series is about a group of children who live in the town of Slowville. This town has no cars, and the residents love animals and nature.

    As with the first book, this book contains 2 separate interesting stories, and has lovely, bright watercolour illustrations.

    In the first story, the kids rescue a sheep in distress, while they are out enjoying a picnic after flying their kites. They then make an unexpected discovery!

    In the second story, 3 of the kids head off for a boat ride with their Dad. Engine trouble cause them to pull in to make repairs, and while ashore they have a rather scary close encounter with wild boar.

    Kids will enjoy these further 2 stories, and will find themselves learning a new language effortlessly.

    Deux nouvelles histoires qui se déroulent à Slowville, la bien nommée, une ville qui vit au rythme des promenades et des animaux. Encore une fois, de très beaux dessins, de très belles couleurs, et des aventures mignonnes comme tout permettent d'aborder des questions de société avec des enfants. Les dessins des moutons et des marcassins sont à craquer !! - avec un coloriage en cadeau (livre très apprécié de deux enfants de 9 et 7 ans).
