Lingo Dingo and the Turkish Astronaut is a heartwarming and funny bilingual children's book with a difference that will help children to learn Turkish.
In this story, Lingo travels to space to help an astronaut. There's just one problem. The Astronaut only speaks Turkish.... What could go wrong!?!
The majority of the text is in English with over 50 Turkish words and phrases slipped in as the story progresses. Having a main character who only speaks in the new language helps to build empathy and a positive attitude towards people who speak different languages.
Lingo Dingo and the Turkish Astronaut is an ideal story to share with young children being introduced to Turkish for the first time. The Turkish words and phrases from the story are translated into English at the bottom of each page where they feature for the first time. It would be useful if the parent, teacher or caregiver reading this story had some knowledge of Turkish to be able to pronounce the Turkish words correctly.
Suggested age range: 3- 8 years
