A sweet and colorful picture book with a positive message about our multicultural, multilingual world that will appeal to all language-loving families. -- Adam Beck, author of Maximize Your Child's Bilingual Ability Dylan's Birthday Present will delight young readers, many of whom are already living in a multicultural world and have picked up their own words/phrases here and there. This is a grand selection for story time and offers caregivers ample opportunities to turn their young audiences into polyglot adventurers. It's a great way to start kids sharing what languages they know and teaching each other words and phrases. Eszter Miklos's illustrations are bright and colorful, and they work perfectly with the story. Dylan's Birthday Present by Victor Dias de Oliveira Santos is highly recommended. -- Jack Magnus, Readers' Favorite reviewer
