J’aime lire ("I love to read" in French) is a French magazine aimed at children aged 7–10. Published by Bayard Presse since 1977, it is easily identifiable by its red cover and its mascot,[1][2] a blue colored pencil named "Bonnemine" (a play-on-words meaning both "looking well" and "good pencil lead").
