Do you speak 2 languages at home?It is very common for families today to raise bilingual children. Each parent speaks a different language to their child and therefore when it comes to books each parent reads different books.
With this Bilingual book the child is exposed to the same content in two different languages so each parent can read the same book in their own preferred language.
Animals of the Rainforest - Djungelns Djur is a brilliant bilingual book with thew same content in both English and Swedish.
This book is intended to be read to a young child that is beginning to talk. The simple pictures are designed to be a starting point for a wider conversation around animal names, noises, colours, and interesting facts.
The concept of this book is similar to that of using flashcards. Each page is focused around one animal. There are 11 animals in this book and a simple world map that highlights the rainforest areas in the world.
All images are brightly coloured on solid colour background to emphasise the animal you are focusing on.You can decide how much time to spend talking about each animal depending on the child's age and engagement. With very young children you can just start by repeating the animal's name and the noise it makes. Gradually building up to introduce more basic facts so the child can learn a little more every time.
Written to entertain a baby boy by his sister and mother during the challenging period of lockdown in London in 2020.
