– Nie musisz chodzić do szkoły, żeby nauczyć się, jak być prawdziwym chłopcem – odrzekli. – Pino, rób to co my! A my cię tego nauczymy. Pinokio był szczęśliwy, bo był z prawdziwymi chłopcami i zupełnie zapomniał o szkole. “You don’t need school to learn how to be a real boy,” they said. “Just follow us, Pino! We’ll teach you!” Pinocchio was happy, now he was with the real boys. He forgot all about school.
Pinocchio and the Real Boys “Pinocchio always did as he was told, even if others made him do bad things. Until one day, they went too far. Pinocchio began to think for himself and learn to take responsibility for his actions.” This classic tale is lovingly re-told and boldly illustrated by Magda Brol, multi-lingualism advocate, in her debut picture book for Mantra Lingua. The quirky illustrations will startle and surprise and invite children to explore behaviour with plenty of questions to encourage discussion. Pinocchio and the Real Boys is PENpal sound enabled where the text is read out loud, page by page, in English and the home language. Pinocchio is available in 24 dual language books: English with Arabic, Bengali, Bulgarian, Cantonese, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Mandarin, Nepali, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Romanian, Somali, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Urdu, or Vietnamese. £9.50 each
