Little Polyglot Adventures Series (Vol. 1): Dylan's Birthday Present / Bronntanas do Bhreithl� Dylan - Irish Children's Book

This is the Irish edition of this children's book. It is also available in several other languages, in both monolingual and bilingual versions.

Summary in English:

Dylan is an American boy like many others. One thing makes him special, though: his parents come from other countries and speak to him in different languages. It's his birthday today and he receives a very unusual present, only to lose it shortly after. Together with his best friend Emma, a sweet bilingual girl born to South African parents, Dylan sets out to find his lost birthday present. During their search, the two friends learn about the value of friendship, of speaking different languages, and of appreciating one's own as well as others' cultural and linguistic background.

If you are looking for a children's book in Irish that will help your child see the value in speaking other languages, in being multicultural, and that will hopefully get them excited about learning languages, this book is a great choice.

Summary in Irish (Gaeilge):

Is buachaill Meirice�nach � Dylan. Ach t� rud amh�in speisialta faoi: is as t�ortha eile iad a thuismitheoir� agus labhra�onn siad teangacha eile leis. Inniu l� breithe Dylan agus is neamhghn�thach an bronntanas a fhaigheann s�, ach n� fhada go dt�ann an bronntanas sin ar iarraidh. T�ann s� fh�in agus a dhl�th-chara Emma, cail�n deas at� dh� theangach, agus ar as an Afraic Theas a tuismitheoir� sa t�ir ar an mbronntanas at� imithe am�. Le linn d�ibh a bheith ag t�ra�ocht faigheann an beirt cara tuiscint ar an luach a bhaineann le cairdeas, le teangacha �ags�la a labhairt, agus le meas a bheith ag duine ar a ch�lra cult�rtha agus teangeola�ocht fh�in agus dhaoine eile."
