He said he wanted a graphic novel in French at beginners level but I can't see any on Amazon. Can anyone recommend any other ideas for a book for a learner ?

Thanks in advance

My adult DS was a big Harry Potter fan in his youth and knew all the books very well. So he got the French versions to help with learning French.

Asterix! Funny for any age

Yes, god how I loved Asterix as a kid. Actually, Tintin would be even better. The dialogue is just the right level for a beginner.

Tintin or Asterix

Coming on to say Asterix too! Definitely the best!
or a French edition of any book he’s already familiar with in English - a childhood favourite he knows well can work well in a second language eg I enjoyed reading my copy of “Bilbo le hobbit”.

You can get anime cartoon books in other languages like Naruto etc. Can be a fun way in.
