"Learning Russian for children has never been more fun!

Following on from the success of the wildly popular The Fabulous Lost and Found and the little Russian mouse, bestselling author, and writer on the Emmy Winning Tales of Peter Rabbit, Mark Pallis returns to make learning Russian for kids and children even more fun!

""Lingo Dingo loves to help. Anyone. Anytime. Anyhow...."" In this heartwarming story, Lingo helps a chef who has to make a very special cake. There's just one problem. The chef only speaks Russian.... What could go wrong!?!

This heartwarming English Russian kids book:

Blends an English language story with over 50 Russian words and phrases so that children learn Russian without realising; Builds a child's confidence in engaging with a new language; Cements the foundation of a lifelong love of the Russian language.

And now with the follow up bilingual Russian English story, Lingo Dingo and the Russian cosmonaut, you can learn another 50 Russian words and phrases!

This book uses the unique Story Powered Language Learning method work to help children learn Russian without realising it.

Unlike other Russian English books for children, or traditional bilingual Russian English childrens books (or bilingual Russian English kids books), this Russian language learning book for kids is different. We take a fun character, Lingo Dingo, who kids will love, and then we put her in a tight squeeze, where she needs to figure out the meaning of the Russian words and phrases in the story in order to help save the day. Kids will be so busy laughing that they don't realise they're learning.

Message from the Author

I am passionate about learning languages. There is something special about that sense of connection you get when you talk to another person in their mother tongue. The expression 'they really spoke my language' really captures that magic feeling. So unlike other Russian childrens books, this book makes Russian for kids fun. I really wanted to focus on words and expressions that would make people smile. Imagine the joy on the child's face when they say that special phrase to a native speaker! They'll feel so proud, and you will too! These books are available in over 50 different languages! Is your favourite language there?

with my best wishes,

Mark Pallis

Reviews for Lingo Dingo and the Russian Chef (Russian / English)

"Reviews for Mark Pallis' language learning stories: ""A fabulous bilingual story for anyone to enjoy and read in two languages. Mark Pallis is set to make our world a multilingual place where all languages are cherished. I highly recommend this book!"" - Dr Fabrice Jaumont, author of The Bilingual Revolution ""The mix of humour and language learning in this story works really well. When it first arrived Ivy made me read it three times in a row .... She's picked up lots of the vocabulary and has also started to ask me the French words for other things she can see in the pictures."" - IvysLibrary.com ""What makes this book extra special is how it begins to introduce its readers to a new language, the Welsh language in fact. As a mother who has two children in a Welsh school, and can only read and write a little myself, it is a novel way to bring us together as a family."" - Rhian Gregory, wales247.com"
