MANTRA WINS TWO AWARDS AT THE EDUCATION SHOW
21-04-2006

The 2006 “Education Show” was held at the NEC in Birmingham,UK. Mantra Lingua’s “Little Red Hen and the Grains of Wheat” won the WOW award given by the National Literacy Association (NLA).The book “caught the panel’s attention because of its sumptuous illustrations with their determined and joyful appeal which give the familiar text a resonance. Witty, with a juggling cat and a duck on stilts, this will be a favourite in primary classrooms.There is a helpful list of keywords in translation in every edition, so you get a literacy resource for two languages, great for multilingual classroom.
