Mark Pallis / Illus. Peter Baynton
A fun story in English that teaches 50 words in Greek, this is a heartwarming and funny bilingual children's book with a difference.
In the original version of the story, little mouse walks into the Lost & Found, but can only speak Greek. How will Mr and Mrs Frog figure out what the mouse is missing…? Aimed at children aged 2 - 7, the unique ‘Story-powered language learning method’ combines humour, story and emotion to gently introduce kids to more than forty simple and fun Russian words and phrases.
The majority of the text is in English with Greek words and phrases slipped in as the story progresses. Having a main character who only speaks Greek helps to build empathy and a positive attitude towards people who speak different languages.
The Fabulous Lost & Found and the Little Greek Mouse is an ideal story to share with young children being introduced to English or Greek for the first time. A list of the Greek and English words and phrases from the story are shown at the back of the book, together with their translations.
It would be useful if the parent, teacher or caregiver reading this story had some knowledge of Russian to be able to pronounce the Russian words correctly, although pronunciation guides are provided for the Greek words taught in the story.
Suggested age range: 2 - 7 years
