Minutka: The Bilingual Dog (Chinese + Pinyin-English) (Hardcover)

“Both the text and illustrations perfectly depict the frenetic, easily sidetracked nature of a young puppy.” Children’s Literature

“Tiny, but charmingly expressive illustrations add an abundance of humour and capture the pleasure of being bilingual. This book is a gem.” Carousel

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 Chineseand 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 Chinese (or even be children) to be entranced by this lovable dog. The Chinese translation is in simplified characters and Pinyin.
