The Encyclopetit Book

The children's books offered by Petit Picotin are carefully selected to support children's development, imagination, and curiosity. Whether baby books or books for older children, each title invites reading, sharing, and discovery, during a quiet moment, a bedtime story, or a family exchange. You'll see, they are graphically stunning and the topics covered promise wonderful discussions with your children!

Baby books (0–3 years) focus on simple images, age-appropriate colours and very short texts to stimulate awakening and the senses.

Children's books (3–8 years) offer longer stories, narrative illustrations and support the development of language, imagination and reading.

A baby book can be given from birth. It allows the little one to discover pictures, sounds, and the pleasure of a book as a familiar object. Children's books then accompany the child from age 3, through shared reading and then independently, at their own pace.

Reading baby books and children's books from an early age promotes the development of language, concentration, and imagination. Reading also creates a moment of calm and connection, essential to the child's emotional development.

For a baby, opt for baby books with clear illustrations, simple shapes, and short texts. These books are designed to be handled easily and to spark curiosity from the very first months.

The baby books and children's books offered by Petit Picotin come from French publishing houses selected for the quality of their illustrations, the richness of their stories, and their suitability for children's ages.
