I had the pleasure of working with the excellent translator, Agnès Denvir, a native speaker of France as well as a French teacher. Not only is her language impeccable, but she also knows how to pare down the language to essential high-frequency structures. Additional translations were made by Cécile Lainé, another native speaker and French teacher.

Billy la bufanda has been used successfully in elementary through high school for years. Some teachers assume it's just for young kids since the imagery does seem like it's targeting younger audiences. However, although the story is perfectly appropriate for elementary, the humor is much more targeted to middle school and high school.

I'm so glad you asked! Absolutely not! These French videos are the results of months of work. We actually went back into the original source files, reanimated the mouths to match the French lyrics, and changed over 100 pieces of artwork! Billy even visits the Louvre now!
