With beautifully expressive, witty illustrations and an appealing contemporary design, this book shows kids how much fun it is to be bilingual by introducing them to a teeny-tiny dog who is fluent in English and Turkish—and even dreams in both languages. Anyone who has ever known and loved a pet will instantly recognize Minutka's favorite activities: she shakes paw, snatches socks, runs in circles, and has fun around the house and garden with her family and friends. Readers don't need to know Turkish (or even be children) to be entranced by this lovable dog.
Have fun with Minutka, the adorable bilingual dog! Minutka is a clever dog who understands English and Turkish. Readers are introduced to her family and her daily activities as they learn.
