A Multicultural Picnic

Book excerpt: This is Book 3 in the multi-award-winning Little Polyglot Adventures series and is the sequel to Book 1 (Dylan's Birthday Present) and to Book 2 (A Wild Day at the Zoo). Dylan and Isabella, the polyglot siblings, have special guests in town: the grandparents. To celebrate their arrival from abroad, the family decides to have a picnic at the park. Things get a bit out of control when the children meet a group of unwelcoming boys at the park and when Kiki, Dylan's pet chicken, decides to venture out on her own. In this fun and multicultural story, children will learn about the true value of friendship, of not judging a book by its cover, and of being proud of their own culture while also respecting that of others.While reading this book, kids will learn new words in different languages and feel like a little polyglot themselves! This book is also available in a coloring-book version and in many other languages, in both bilingual and monolingual editions.
