BUC: Literature about Bilingualism

• Saunders, George, 1988, BILINGUAL CHILDREN: From Birth to Teens
  from the cover:
  There are many parents in the world today who have the opportunity to raise their children in two languages, but who are discouraged or dissuaded from doing so, either because they are not sure how to go about it or because of the often conflicting advice they receive from relatives, friends, acquaintances, health workers, teachers, etc.  Bilingual Children: From Birth to Teens was written to allow many of the doubts and fears which parents might have about raising their children bilingually. By focusing in detail on the experience of one particular family, as well as drawing widely on other relevant research into bilingualism, George Saunders shows that although parents may at times encounter difficulties in bringing up their children in two languages, these difficulties are by no means insurmountable, and that it is possible for children to achieve and maintain a reasonable and useful level of bilingualism, even when the circumstances are far from ideal.
