In English, Of Course

Author: Josephine Nobisso

In this picture book, Josephine tries to tell her English class about her hometown of Naples, Italy. The teacher, who clearly knows very little about city-life in Italy, tries to help Josephine tell the story. The result is a far-fetched tale about Josephine's life on a farm. This light-hearted story, illustrated with delightful pen and ink drawings, shows the frustration- and humor- involved in learning a second language. This book would work well for young elementary school students or TESOL students in early or intermediate grades.
