Une Vie de Chien: It's a Dog's Life is a light-hearted, beautifully illustrated book, focussing on animal-related phrases in French and English. If a French speaker says to you `faire ca ou peigner la girafe', the literal meaning may cause you some confusion... They're not asking you to `do this or comb a giraffe', but rather asking you to do this or some other pointless task - how would you know? Similarly, if someone says `arriver comme un chien dans un jeu de quilles', they're saying `to turn up when least wanted/ needed' rather than saying you've arrived like a dog in a game of skittles! Consisting of 68 useful phrases that are sure to confuse any speaker trying to learn French, Une Vie de Chien is an essential read for those wanting to learn successfully the French language, as well as readers who love animals.
