"Losing your pencil in an Ethiopian market turns an ordinary task into a colorful quest. The vibrant people and stalls come to life in our sweet bilingual early reader that introduces emerging students of Ethiopian languages to basic vocabulary and conversational sentence structure. Colorful watercolor illustrations support emerging vocabulary. Questions and answers engage young readers. Side by side text in Ethiopian languages like Amharic, Tigrinya and Afaan Oromo (and English) support fluency. Part of the Ready, Set, Go! series of bilingual early readers by Open Hearts Big Dreams, a nonprofit devoted to increasing Ethiopian literacy." -- publisher
