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.

Hi Sarah,
I'd be curious to hear from parents of older children how they like the dual language approach.
