Ludovic is a little daredevil with a lot of imagination. His adventurous games often leave their mark in the form of some interesting scrapes and bruises. For his official entry at school, he explores his fourteen “booboos,” because he also learned to count with them… and it’s not over yet!

The books in this collection are practically square in shape; the text in three languages will always be on the right-hand page while the left-hand page is a full-page illustration. At the end of each book, there is a lexicon of the principal words used. For example, in this book, which talks about Ludo’s fourteen booboos, we give the names of these numbers in Arabic, French, English and Spanish, and Roman numerals.

Born in LaSalle in 1961, Fabienne Caron grew up on the building sites of Manic-Outardes, where she never got bored. Her imagination has always been impressed by the adventures that free children can create in nature. After several trips with her backpack throughout the Americas and several countries in Africa and Europe, she settled down and started a family in Pointe-au-Père in the Bas-Saint-Laurent. Between her studies in literature and four pregnancies, she started writing to “travel again” and won several CBC Radio writing awards.

The Rosetta Stone is a fragment of inscribed rock discovered in 1799 in the village of Rosetta, Egypt. The Egyptologist Jean-François Champollion suspected that the three texts written on the stone said the same thing in three scripts. He soon realized that the first text was in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, the second, in a more current Egyptian language, and the third, in ancient Greek. With that key, thanks to the work of Mr. Champollion, we can read ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs today.
