Learning Italian is fun with this delightful story about pets. In the story, a boy called Marco asks his friends if they have a pet. Marco discovers that all his friends have a pet. Marco though doesn't have a pet, but one day he finds a coin and he makes a wish. Will his wish for a pet come true? Read to the end of the story to find out! On each of the pages where Marco asks his friend if they have a pet, the pet can be seen hiding behind a bush. Parents/teachers could ask their little ones what the animal is called in Italian before turning over the page to see the animal in full and the name in Italian. For each pet, there is a page giving details of the type of pet, the pet's name, the size of the pet and the colour of the pet - If you like singing then sing each of these 4 lines twice to a made up tune - or you could try saying the words as rap.

At the back of the book there are 3 pages which may be photocopied for class or home use:

Joanne Leyland specialises in writing books teaching foreign languages to children in a fun and engaging way. Her varied range includes activity books, holiday phrase books with challenges, special Christmas editions, word search editions, first 100 words colouring book editions, photocopiable games and stories. Joanne studied languages at University and she lived abroad for almost 2 years in the 1990s. Before she became a teacher she worked in exporting where she enjoyed speaking her foreign languages on a daily basis. She has now been teaching languages to 3 to 11 year olds for almost 20 years. The two things she loves most about teaching is seeing her pupils enjoy her lessons and using her creativity to help them learn. When she isn't teaching or writing another book, she's probably speaking French, Spanish, German or Italian with her friends, trying out a new recipe, swimming or gardening. She's still a lot to learn about growing vegetables, but she's giving it a go, and believes it's always good to learn something new.
