Cosmo, il mio maestro di italiano a quattro zampe (Imparo l'italiano con Cosmo) is an exciting three-book series that invites primary school children on a fun-filled journey into reading and writing in Italian. Packed with bilingual stories, creative writing activities, treasure hunts, drawing challenges and language games.
Leading the way is Cosmo, a lovable Labrador who encourages young learners to tackle new challenges, unlock Italian spelling patterns and celebrate their progress with confidence.
Children can email Cosmo to share their achievements, favourite activities and questions, and receive personal replies filled with encouragement, motivation and little updates from their furry friend.
Created to address the shortage of high-quality bilingual resources for young learners, the series is designed to support independent reading while making language learning enjoyable and accessible. It also offers families a wonderful opportunity to explore Italian together, creating meaningful moments of learning, discovery and shared achievement.
Every story includes an English translation, allowing children to build confidence at their own pace. The books have been carefully designed to support neurodivergent learners through clear layouts, colour-coding and structured activities that promote focus and recognition.
Teachers will also find the series a valuable classroom resource, with ready-to-use activities that help deliver engaging and effective Italian lessons.
With Cosmo by their side, children discover that learning Italian isn't just about words and grammar. It's about building confidence, exploring new worlds and enjoying every step of the journey.
Learn, play, explore and grow with Cosmo!
