Book Review: See you - im nächsten Sommer. A German - English story
See you... is the story of a male German exchange student who spends 3 weeks in the U.S. with an American girl and her family. Unhappy about the situation at first, he discovers his host is actually a pretty good soccer player and they develop a friendship.
I love the language switching that goes on in this book. Here's an excerpt:
"Let's go to that McDonald's, then!", schlug Britney vor. "Does anyone know where it is exactly?" Tobias schüttelte den Kopf. Madison sagte, "I'm not sure,I think bilingual kids will love this kind of back-and-forth between German and English. Enjoy!
but I think it's only a few minutes from here, down that street over there." "Let's go!", rief Tobias.

Book Review: Inga zieht sich an
Inga is a little bunny who absolutely *must* pick out her own clothes WITHOUT any help from her dear mama who is waiting to take her to the park. As the mother of a very independent three year old, I enjoyed this book very much as I read it with M. M enjoyed it as well, nodding knowingly when Inga asserted "Ich will aber ALLEINE aussuchen!"
I also love this book because it comes with a code for a bonus audiobook you can download from the Nord-Sued (publisher) website. So M can listen to it whenever he wants, just the way his independent little self likes it :)
The book also includes a paper doll Inga with several outfits to cut out and play with. Fun!
