Synopsis:
Learning Italian for children has never been more fun!
Following on from the success of the wildly popular The Fabulous Lost and Found and the little Italian mouse, bestselling author, and writer on the Emmy Winning Tales of Peter Rabbit, Mark Pallis returns to make learning Italian for kids and children even more fun!
"Lingo Dingo loves to help. Anyone. Anytime. Anyhow...." In this heartwarming story, Lingo travels to the stars to help a Italian chef. There's just one problem. The chef only speaks Italian.... What could go wrong!?!
This heartwarming English Italian kids book:
- Blends an English language story with over 50 Italian words and phrases so that children learn Italian without realising;
- Builds a child's confidence in engaging with a new language;
- Cements the foundation of a lifelong love of the Italian language.
This book uses the unique Story Powered Language Learning method work to help children learn Italian without realising it.
Unlike other Italian English books for children, or traditional bilingual Italian English childrens books (or bilingual Italian English kids books), this Italian language learning book for kids is different. We take a fun character, Lingo Dingo, who kids will love, and then we put her in a tight squeeze, where she needs to figure out the meaning of the Italian words and phrases in the story in order to help save the day. Kids will be so busy laughing that they don't realise they're learning.
Message from the Author
I am passionate about learning languages. There is something special about that sense of connection you get when you talk to another person in their mother tongue. The expression 'they really spoke my language' really captures that magic feeling. So unlike other Italian childrens books, this book makes Italian for kids fun. I really wanted to focus on words and expressions that would make people smile. Imagine the joy on the child's face when they say that special phrase to a native speaker! They'll feel so proud, and you will too!
best,
Mark
