Description :
Meet Minutka, a lovable, playful dog who is bilingual:
she is fluent in English and French! Minutka even dreams in both
languages!
She shows us how much fun it is to be in a family, to play
around the house and garden and with friends, and to be bilingual.
With
beautifully expressive, witty illustrations and a highly contemporary
design, Minutka delights readers of all ages. Anyone who has ever known
or loved a pet will instantly recognize and laugh at what Minutka does:
how she shakes paw, snatches socks, runs in circles . . . Minutka is for everyone: you don't need to be a child or bilingual to be entertained and entranced by this lovable dog!
Praise for Minutka :
'Minutka, so minute that she might disappear under a finger if she did
not stay safely in the center of the page, does not formally teach. Her
statements don't progress from simple to difficult, or fall into
categories like "food" or "greetings". She's just celebrating a life lived in two languages.'
Publishers Weekly
'Both the text and illustrations depict the frenetic, easily side-tracked nature of a young puppy.'
Children’s Literature
'Tiny, but charmingly expressive illustrations add an abundance of
humour and capture the pleasure of being bilingual. This book is a gem.'
