Teaching children the Pennsylvania German dialect through an interactive kids book. Audience: Pennsylvania Dutch children, parents and grandparents.

Here you can see the author, Michael Rosen, telling the story in English. Please imagine how cool it would be, if you were able to read the story to your children or grandchildren in Pennsylvania German.
