Why Little Miss Contrary in Polish is recommended for Polish and bilingual children?

Children learning Polish as a second language in UK and other countries are often keen to read English but reading in Polish is not always easy for them. 

Polish and bilingual children in England know these stories from the English school or library, which is why they are recommended for bilingual children to encourage them to read in Polish.

Reading these books together with a bilingual child is a great opportunity to meet Little Miss Contrary 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.
