Le Mystère de la soupe rose
Two bowls served together: one soup is pink, the other purple. Read the story, study the pictures and help Yuna and Malo discover what happened.
The story
A mystery to solve
Yuna has just moved to the neighbourhood. At her first shared meal, she and Malo prepare menus for the guests. But the soup served from one saucepan has two different colours. Follow the characters’ actions and help the children solve the puzzle before the guests arrive.
