Speak Scruffy! Have a Go!

Scruffy is an adventurous dog who wants to explore the world but finds himself a little bit lonely and a little bit confused...until he has a go.
Speak Scruffy! Have a Go! is a French language-learning bilingual picture storybook, written for children of approximately 3-8 years of age. It introduces the concept of travel and languages. It is a first step in developing young children's ability to communicate with French speakers, aided with pronunciation hints such as for 'Thank you' there is 'Merci' (mair-see). Families can communicate essential language with confidence when they travel. In addition to the enjoyment of learning a language, parents and teachers can foster an appreciation and respect for other cultures.
This is an entertaining, uplifting, interactive story about a dog's journey, not just a travelling journey, but a journey which involves uncertainty, kindness, understanding the world better, perseverance, building confidence, celebrating difference and gaining a new language skill. It's a fun, shared experience to be read over and over again.
Learning a language provides many benefits such as improving cognitive function. Languages are a lifelong skill that can be used in business and pleasure, enabling communication, discovery and a wider cultural understanding.
