I haven't posted much lately, but that doesn't mean I haven't been studying French. My typical day includes reading something in French (Le Petit Nicolas, Le Monde or something online), listening to Native French Speech, One Thing in a French Day or other French podcast, and watching something in French, usually a movie on Netflix or some videos on YouTube.
I also often look for new things in different genres in order to increase my vocabulary. And sometimes books for kids provide just what I am looking for to learn new vocabulary that I don't find in the news and in adult speech.
One of my favorite websites for children so far is Il était une histoire... This site has simple, traditional stories, fables and folktales in French. You can read and listen to the stories, as well as play games.

Voici Le Corbeau et Le Renard
Maître Corbeau, sur un arbre perché,
Tenait en son bec un fromage.
Maître Renard, par l'odeur alléché,
Lui tint à peu près ce langage :
Et bonjour, Monsieur du Corbeau.
Que vous êtes joli ! que vous me semblez beau !
Sans mentir, si votre ramage
Se rapporte à votre plumage,
Vous êtes le Phénix des hôtes de ces bois.
À ces mots, le Corbeau ne se sent pas de joie ;
Et pour montrer sa belle voix,
Il ouvre un large bec, laisse tomber sa proie.
Le Renard s'en saisit, et dit :
Mon bon Monsieur,
Apprenez que tout flatteur
Vit aux dépens de celui qui l'écoute.
Cette leçon vaut bien un fromage, sans doute.
Le Corbeau honteux et confus
Jura, mais un peu tard, qu'on ne l'y prendrait plus.

Le petit Nicolas
Le petit Nicolas est un personnage de la littérature de jeunesse imaginé et écrit en 1959 par René Goscinny et illustré par Jean-Jacques Sempé.
J'adore lire le roman Le petit Nicolas. Ce roman est composé de plusieurs petites histories du petit Nicolas et ses copains.
Ce livre est chouette !
This is a pretty easy book to read for us French learners. It is a well-loved book for youngsters, but I find it very enjoyable to read and I have also enjoyed finding other resources based on Le Petit Nicolas, some of which I have included below (e.g. the YouTube videos and a link to a recording of some Petit Nicolas books).
There is also a full length movie, but I have not found a way to see that yet. If you have a link, let me know.
