Learning French for kids and children has never been more fun!
Following on from the success of the wildly popular The Fabulous Lost and Found and the little French mouse, bestselling author, and writer on the Emmy Winning Tales of Peter Rabbit, Mark Pallis returns to make learning French for kids and children even more fun!
“Lingo Dingo loves to help. Anyone. Anytime. Anyhow….” In this heartwarming story, Lingo travels to space to help a French astronaut. There’s just one problem. The Astronaut only speaks French…. What could go wrong!?!
This heartwarming English French kids book:
Blends an English language story with over 50 French words and phrases so that children learn French without realising;Builds a child’s confidence in engaging with a the French language;Cements the foundation of a lifelong love of the French language.
And now with the follow up bilingual French English story for kids, Lingo Dingo and the French Chef, you can learn another 50 French words and phrases!
This book uses the unique Story Powered Language Learning method work to help children learn French without realising it.
Unlike other French English books for children, or traditional bilingual French English childrens books (or bilingual French English kids books), this French 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 French 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 French childrens books, this book makes French 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!
with my best wishes,
Mark Pallis

“Learning languages should be easy and fun”
” ‘They really spoke my language’ is an expression that sums up that sense of connection you feel when someone really gets you. And that’s what learning a language is ultimately all about – connection.
So, whether you are learning because it’s part of your heritage or because you just want to broaden your horizons, I created these books so that kids could feel that magic spark of connection too. The phrases they’ll learn are designed to make their eyes light up and make them laugh. And show how much fun it can be to understand people from another country.
Languages mean the world to me and I’m so delighted to share these books with you.” Mark Pallis

Collect them all
The Fabulous Lost & Found and the little French mouse
These books are emotionally engaging and funny stories for children and adults to enjoy together, just like any other picture book. Studies show that social interaction, like enjoying a book together, is critical in language learning.
Lingo Dingo and the French astronaut
Through the stories, we introduce a relatable character who speaks only in the new language. This helps build empathy and a positive attitude towards people who speak different languages. These are both important aspects in laying the foundations for lasting language acquisition in a child’s life.
Lingo Dingo and the French chef
As the stories progress, the child naturally works with the characters to discover the meanings of a wide range of fun new words. Strategic use of humour ensures that this subconscious learning is rewarded with laughter; the child feels good and the seeds of a lifelong love of Italian are sown.
