le livre d'enfants

Question

What is wrong with saying "j’ai trouvé le livre d'enfants"?

Accepted Answer

Hi sss, 
I have looked at the quiz question and it was -
I have found the children's book behind the sofa = J'ai trouvé le livre des enfants ...
is the correct answer as Jim said it is "the book of the children" in French.
If you had said -
J'ai trouvé un livre d'enfants... = I have found a children's book ...
we wouldn't know who the book belonged to.
also if you said 
Le livre d'enfants que j'ai trouvé = The children's book that I have found ...
again we don't know who it belongs to just that it is a book for children.
Hope this helps

Answer

Salut SSS,There needs to be a definite article before the children:- J'ai trouvé le livre des (de les) enfants.Bonne continuationJim
