A Wild Day at the Zoo - Bilingual Hawaiian and English Edition: Children's Picture Book - Little Polyglot Adventures Large type / large print edition

? WINNER OF THE 2020 TILLYWIG BRAIN CHILD AWARD ?




"A Wild Day at the Zoo is highly recommended. Children with parents and grandparents who have different first languages will love seeing how Dylan and Isabella interact with their Brazilian and Ukrainian parents. Those who aren't that fortunate can still get a jump on learning new languages through reading this book." -- Readers' Favorite 5-star review




"A Wild Day at the Zoo's uplifting, fun tone pairs nicely with its messages and lessons. It will appeal to anyone seeking to expand a child's experiences with other cultures and languages." -- Midwest Book Review




"The warm, playful interactions that occur throughout the story are especially enlightening due to Dylan and family's habit of sharing with one another the things they see, hear and learn. As a result, readers take in fun, memorable facts relating to things like cheetah speed, the uniqueness of zebra stripes, even the eating habits of elephants." -- Tillywig Brain Child Award reviewer
