If I Had a Paka: Poems in Eleven Languages
Average rating
5 out of 5
Based on 6 Ratings and 2 Reviews

Book Description
Young readers can begin to learn Serbo-Croatian, Swahili, Vietnamese, and eight other languages from around the world, because Charlotte Pomerantz deftly intersperses English with one other language in each of eleven different poems. The meaning of new words is absolutely clear through context or comparison. With bold, colorful illustrations. "A remarkable achievement."--Parents Magazine.
