Where Did it Go?/Adhu Elli Hoyithu? (Bilingual: English/Kannada) (Kannada)

Where Did it Go?/Adhu Elli Hoyithu? is an engaging bilingual picture book presented in English and Kannada, designed to captivate young readers (aged 5 years and up) with a simple yet interactive story. The narrative follows Kabir as he searches for something he has lost, prompting young readers to join in the quest. A key feature of the book is its use of graphic visuals that directly correspond to clues provided in the text. This clever design encourages children to actively participate in the story by identifying familiar everyday objects depicted in the illustrations, thereby developing their observation and matching skills. The bilingual format of the book makes it a valuable resource for introducing children to the Kannada language. By presenting the text in both English and Kannada, it allows children to learn new words and phrases in a contextually relevant and enjoyable way. This early exposure to a second language can foster an appreciation for linguistic diversity and provide cognitive benefits. Written by Nandini Nayar.
