Meet Lela – a clever little girl who is also very stubborn. Despite her mum and dad encouraging her to learn a new language, Lela refuses, arguing that dogs don’t try to neigh. This leaves her in a bit of a pickle at an important international party where she can’t understand anything the grown-ups are saying and feels utterly miserable. Lela vows from this moment on to learn all of the languages of the world, one word at a time…
Join Lela on her journey, learning words in Latvian, French, Finnish, German, Spanish, Italian, Estonian, Swedish, Slovenian, Dutch, Maltese and Russian. Filled with humour, adventure and learning, this delightful book will leave you wanting to learn more and more languages.
'The book will appeal to confident
readers in primary school years 4-6, aged 8-11, particularly those who love discovering
new words. In literacy lessons, this book would be a great left-field choice
for a class reader or book club text. It is well-suited for reading aloud and
will be a hit with children who like the sounds of new and unusual words.'
