SuitabookFélicio et le clown à l'école
Mireille Villeneuve
- Reading
- Read together in short sittings if useful. Pause before and after the school visit to ask what each character might be hoping for, then invite the child to relate the idea to their own school experiences.
- Themes
- Parent–child connection: Félicio’s father misses him after Félicio begins school, and the school invitation creates an opportunity for them to share an experience. The premise foregrounds tenderness and reconnection, but the full treatment and ending are not established.
- School and sharing a profession: An educator invites Félicio’s father to speak to the class about his work as a clown. The book presents a family member’s occupation entering the classroom, but it is unclear whether the visit is mainly comic, educational or both.
- Worth knowing
- The father’s sadness at being alone is worth noticing. The classroom visit involves speaking about work, so a child who is uneasy about attention or presentations may want an unhurried discussion.
