Read what educators and reviewers are saying about this title.... "Being Bilingual is Fun!" is a wonderful introduction to young readers on what it means to be bilingual and the kinds of things bilingual children (and adults!) can do. The simple but informative text is enhanced throughout with superb and colorful photographs." -- James A. Cox, Editor-In-Chief, Children's Bookwatch, November 1999

"Schwalm combines her photographic talent, teaching experience, and love of travel in her children's book. The title would most probably not attract a child's interest, if it were not for the large yellow star and rainbow border of the book. In a myriad of colors, the names of many languages are interspersed between a sea of stars on a black background. The use of color and form succeed in attracting a young child's interest by appealing to his or her visual world. This picture book can be read over and over to children. We are introduced to bilingual children who speak Spanish, Hmong, and Tagalog in addition to English. We are shown beautiful pictures of the children and their families and pets in everyday situations and activities. Children are introduced not only to languages other than English, but also to various traditions and customs of diverse people. With this book, the author succeeds in explaining to children how they learn languages, what it means to be bilingual, and the importance of languages in their everyday lives. The photographs depict to young readers a world in which languages are a natural and integral part of their environment." -- Multicultural Review, June 2000 "Overflowing with color photographs of families from around the world, the book tells of the delights and experiences that can result from knowing more than one language. Schwalm, a specialist in early-childhood education, wrote the book to help develop an appreciation and respect for second-language learners. The book begins with how to learn a second language, then focuses on five bilingual children in their day-to-day experiences. There is also a colorful list of more than 600 languages to emphasize the breadth of diversity in the world. The children featured in the book speak English as well as Spanish, Hmong and Tagalog. This book could also be enlightening for English-only speaking children who live in a community with many bilingual people." -- Today's Librarian, December 1999 With full color photographs, this book relates the joys and benefits of being bilingual. It begins with explaining how we learn a language, and then focuses on the lives of five bilingual children: Paloma, a Spanish speaker, Sau and Kai, Hmong speakers, and Rosalie and Rosario, Tagalog speakers. A rainbow listing of the names of over 600 languages insures that every bilingual child will feel represented in this book. Being Bilingual is Fun!
