With his unique combination of hilarious stories, colourful pictures and rhymes, Dr. Seuss has been delighting young children and helping them learn to read.
Children learning Polish as a second language in UK and other countries are often keen to read English but reading in Polish can be very difficult for them.
Polish children in the UK know this story from the English school or library, which is why we recommend it to encourage kids to read in Polish.
Reading this books together with a bilingual child is a great opportunity to meet Horton Hatches the Egg and other characters in another language, compare the Polish translation with the English original, talk about language differences, as well as great fun and a lot of laughter.
For Polish and bilingual children we also recommend the following books:
• Czytam sobie is a series of books similar to English reading programme (different levels of difficulty) (link Czytam sobie ang)
