Connecticut Book Awards At a busy street market, kids eating ice cream exclaim, Yum in English, Geshmak in Yiddish, and Nam-nam in Danish.
But disaster strikes when a little dog overturns a spice cart, showering pepper on everyone's ice cream.
Will the kids end up crying, Hai hai, or cheering, Yupi ? Energetic art and a lift-the-flap feature make exploring languages fun.
