Twelve ways to say good morning from German to Arabic to Zulu to French this book introduces children to other children and how they greet, ask how are you, what's your name, and say common words like no, please, thank you and more! The back of the book contains a map with colored symbols as to where each language is spoken. This is a great book to introduce your child to other languages and cultures. The illustrations are well done and the prose is such that you can take it as far as you'd like in terms of helping a child understand other cultures. For young children, this would be an excellent book if you are planning a trip away from the United States.

The public library made this book available to my Head Start classroom. We had so much fun learning common phrases in 12 different languages. Each day we learned something new. I decided to order my own copy. I also ordered the companion "Can You Count on Ten Toes". This year we will learn counting in 10 differnt languages.

Basic phrases from 'good morning' and 'please' to 'thank you' and 'no' are revealed in not just the usual French and Spanish but Zulu, Chinese, Hindi, German and more: 12 languages for 12 phrases. The result allows for a wonderful understanding of other languages and teaches kids similarities between them. A fun introduction to other languages which goes beyond the usual bilingual focus.
