My kid is barely 2yrs, so my plans for English immersion are still vague, but here goes:

- consuming all media in the original language instead of dubs

- kindergarten already does some bilingual exploration, she's a native English speaker

- Later on I intend to do an "English day" each week at home where we would only converse in English. From my personal experience, the best path to fluency is having no choice but to speak in a given language. I also want to create boundaries to prevent mixing the two languages.

About french children's book, I could send you a mail about it. Depending on the age of your kids "la courte échelle" has great stuff.
