About
Book Details
A word on the blackboard gives rise to a bunch of associated words, in two languages – one familiar, and a translation in a less familiar one. Along with the vivid pictures, these form verbal and visual clues – stepping stones for many stories children can develop on their own and learn a language. A list at the end helps them remember the new words. This series of bilingual books encourages children to ‘Imagine Words’ and build vocabulary with the aid of pictures in a storytelling setting.
