About This Book

Polish English Bilingual children's book. Perfect for kids learning English or Polish as their second language. Amanda has a habit of wasting her time. Until something magical happens and she learns to use her time wisely.

Our Review

This engaging bilingual story offers young readers a gentle lesson in time management while building language skills in both English and Polish. When Amanda discovers the consequences of procrastination through a magical twist, children learn alongside her about making thoughtful choices with their time. The parallel text presentation allows for natural vocabulary building in either language, with the narrative flowing smoothly between both versions. This approach to dual-language learning creates an immersive experience that feels more like storytelling than a language lesson.

What makes this book particularly valuable is how it addresses a common childhood challenge while supporting bilingual development. The magical element keeps the tone light and engaging, preventing the time-management theme from feeling like a lecture. Young readers developing English or Polish skills will appreciate following Amanda's relatable journey in both languages, while the clear moral provides meaningful discussion points for parents and educators. This thoughtful combination of character growth and language exposure makes time well spent for emerging bilingual readers.
