The Dance of the Caterpillars Bilingual Bengali English Adele Marie Crouch

While watching her Chinese immigrant son-in-law learn the English language, it became apparent to the author that prepositions are one of the most difficult concepts to comprehend. Therefore, The Dance of The Caterpillars was written as a fun way to teach prepositions. This exciting children's book contains twenty-two prepositions, one two-word multiple, and two three-word multiples. It is destined to become a valuable learning tool for children as well as English as a second language students. Bengali, also known by its endonym Bangla, is an Indo-Aryan language spoken in South Asia.
