不一样的卡梅拉 La Petite Poules Series in Chinese

Originally written in French by Christian Jolibois, the 不一样的卡梅拉 La Petite Poules Chinese books are an entertaining read for kids!

When my 老大 (lǎodà) was younger, our Chinese teacher would bring 不一样的卡梅拉 books for us to borrow. Since my daughter enjoyed them, I decided to buy this fiction series. Many of you also raved about these books, so it seemed worthwhile to add to our home library.

不一样的卡梅拉 is an anthropomorphic series about this chicken who is on a quest to see the world.

卡梅拉 faces various challenges, such as getting lost at sea, figuring out how to lay an egg, and meeting alien chickens from other planets. While learning how to navigate difficulties, 卡梅拉 finds her partner, a red chicken, in the process.

The 不一样的卡梅拉 stories are….

  • Illustrations are bright, witty, and engaging

不一样的卡梅拉 Reading level

If you can read several hundred Chinese characters (such as after completing Chinese leveled readers), these books are fun for independent reading practice.

Each page has anywhere from 2 lines of text to a couple of short paragraphs.

Compared to most Chinese picture books, 不一样的卡梅拉 books are longer with 48 pages per book. Each book takes approximately 15-25 minutes to read.

What age is best for 不一样的卡梅拉 books?

Although I generally prefer realistic books for toddlers and preschoolers, I do want them to know about stories that are popular in China.

My daughter first heard the 不一样的卡梅拉 stories when she was around 3 years old. After going through a period of disinterest, I was surprised to see her like them again at age 6. In fact, I think that she enjoys them better now that she’s older and can read them on her own.

Currently, my son is 3, and he enjoys listening to the 不一样的卡梅拉 books and talking about the action in the illustrations.

Some of my friends with children in elementary school, and their sons still like these books!

  1. Hi Betty,

    May I please know what are the dimensions of your version of 不一样的卡梅拉?

    Thanks!

  2. After reading your great review, I ordered the 1st set (12 books) from JD. My 6-year-old boy loves them and it is his favorite bedtime story now. I am planning to buy the 2nd set too. Thank you very much, Betty!

    1. Yay! I’m so glad that your son loves these books! Thanks so much for taking the time to share! 🙂

  3. I purchased this set from your Amazon link, but what came in the package was an English only version. Wondering if this has also happened to anyone else?

    1. Oh no! Sorry to hear that! I just checked the link and see the Chinese version listed. I wonder if the seller mixed up the language and hope you’re able to return or exchange the books!
