Reading "Uncle Scrouge" in French is a great way to improve vocabulary and the story often make me smile as well :). Unlike the previous reviewer has stated my Picsou always arrives with the wrapper intact in perfect condition.
This magazine about Scrooge McDuck (Picsou) is put out by Disney, with all the same illustrators, and stories, only written in French. We read it to improve our conversational French. It's fun, it's light, and lest you think your French skills are beyond a "children's book" let me ask you this: Can you say "shipwreck" in French? What about "jet engine," "surgical research," "shoe buckles," or "hallucination?" Reading the magazine gives you idioms you would never pick up in French class. We absolutely LOVE our magazines! On the down side, expect a delay of at least 3 MONTHS (yes, months) for the first magazine to arrive, and alas, when it does, the wrapper will be all torn off and the cover smootched. Copies of these magazines from the 70's are collected, and you can find old issues online used for around 10 bucks if you want to try one before you get a subscription.
