Alphabet Alliteration Bilingual Marshallese English

Publisher Marketing: Are you ready for a new way to learn the alphabet? This isn't your average A B C's. Those of you who remember, "She sells seashells by the seashore," will enjoy this book immensely. A twist has been added to the basic "A is for apple" that will make learning the alphabet crazy fun. Alliteration has been used for each letter of the alphabet. Alliteration is the repetition of initial consonant sounds in two or more neighboring words. The Marshallese language is a Malayo-Polynesian language spoken in the Marshall Islands by about 44,000 people, and the principal language of the country. The islands are about 70 square miles of land area scattered over 750,000 sq. mi. of the Western Pacific. Approximately 32,000 are of working age with 39% employed, 61% unemployed or inactive. The largest group of Marshallese living outside the islands can be found at the foothills of the Ozarks in Springdale, Arkansas. Today roughly 6,000-8,000 Marshallese live in Springdale, and about fifty percent of Tyson Chicken's floor staff are from the Marshall Islands. The Republic of the Marshall Islands has a U. S. consulate in Springdale, Arkansas. An additional consulate is in Honolulu, HI. The person who translated this book, Jacob Gardner, lives in Laie, HI. If you would like to contact Jacob for additional information on his native language: jacbgardner@gmail.com It is not uncommon to find words in your language or the language the book is being translated into that do not translate. This was the case in this book. Where there is no translation it is noted throughout the book. Thank you for your purchase and I hope you find the book enjoyable. Adele M. Crouch Contributor Bio:  Crouch, Adele Marie Adele's memories of her grandmother are filled with warmth, happiness and love. "My Grandma Tony was one of those story-book grandmas. She was cheerful and loving and her house always smelled like fresh baked bread. She had a 'snuggle up' lap and plenty of affection to go around for all of her grandchildren," Adele comments. Her passing was difficult, but did not dim the wonderful memories Adele still carries in her heart. One night, many years after her Grandma Tony's death, Adele woke to the sound of her grandmother's voice in her head. She got up, went to her computer and typed what was streaming through her mind. The end result, How The Fox Got His Color. Less than a week later, Adele awoke once again in the pre-dawn hours and went to her computer. By daylight, Where Hummingbirds Come From was complete. After her son-in-law immigrated to America from Beijing, she watched him struggle to learn the English language. It became apparent that prepositions are one of the most difficult concepts to comprehend. Upon his request, she began to write a children's book using a number of prepositions. The end result is The Dance of The Caterpillars. Adele has used twenty three prepositions, 1 two-word multiple, and 2 three-word multiples in this story. Adele's children's books have become popular for English as a second language students all over the world and are on the top 10 list of ESL study material on Amazon. At the time of the publication of this book, How the Fox Got His Color is available on Kindle and Nook in twelve languages, Where Hummingbirds Come From is available in ten languages, and The Dance Of The Caterpillars in ten languages.
