Answer: La fille fuit un rhinocéros orange dans un stade.

"Fuire" is to escape or flee. "Suit" is the third person singular conjugation of the verb "suivre" and is identical to the same conjugated form of 'être' or to be. Je suis, tu suis, il suit, nous suivons, vous suivez, ils suivent. "La revanche" is revenge. "Le stade" is the stadium. So the girl is fleeing the orange rhinoceros in the stadium.

This is my daughter and I'm not sure where the rhino came from.

Answer: La fille conduit une petite voiture jaune.

"Conduire" is to drive. "Faire du vélo" is to ride a bike. You can also say "bicyclette" but you'll hear most children using the former. "Faire du cerf volant" is kite flying. My daughter has never been able to resist these toy cars. This is a toy version of the Fiat 500 in Italy or the "Topolino" aka Mickey Mouse so called because of its appearance.

Answer: La femme avec les lunettes joue de la flute en bois.

Lunettes are glasses of course as in the early days, people wore demi-lune shaped glasses on their noses a la Ben Franklin. "Jouer de la flute" is to play the flute. This is a rare wooden flute with standard fingering that I was able to play in high school for a few years on loan.

In French, the recorder is called 'la flute en bec' or one with a beak, or fipple mouthpiece. The standard flute is called the "flute traversière".

Answer: La jeune fille porte un grand chapeau bleu de magicien.

Answer: Le petit garçon avec un chapeau tient un tout petit chaton. Le chat sort ses griffes.

Tenir is to hold. Don't forget that the present tense can express 'is holding' as well as 'holds' with the same word.
