This Baa Goes Missing book review is for you if you are looking for a sweet bilingual picture book to read in Portuguese and English with your child.

The author, Teresa Dangerfield is a great friend of mine. One of the sweetest people I have ever met in all my life. You can learn more about Teresa at her website and her Facebook Page.

A Heartwarming Story for Young Readers

This bilingual children’s book tells the adorable story of Amélia and her beloved plush sheep, Baa. One day, during a visit to her grandmother’s house, Amélia gets caught in a sudden rainstorm and, in the chaos, loses Baa. This marks the beginning of an emotional journey full of suspense and hope as she tries to reunite with her cherished toy.

Each night, my daughter and I read a chapter, eagerly following Baa’s adventures. The suspense kept us hooked, making it hard to pause and wait until the next evening to continue. Would Amélia and Baa find each other again? The anticipation made the experience even more special.

Why This Book Stands Out

One of the things that makes this book truly special is its bilingual format. The author, Teresa Dangerfield, brilliantly presents the story in both Portuguese and English, making it a fantastic tool for language learners. There’s no need to wait for a separate translation—it’s all there on the page, seamlessly integrated.

Besides the engaging storyline, the book teaches valuable lessons about friendship, resilience, and problem-solving. The emotional connection between Amélia and Baa resonates deeply, especially with young readers who have their own treasured toys.

If you enjoy calm, screen-free moments like this Baa Goes Missing reading time, you might also like this 200-piece puzzle for kids that became one of my daughter’s favourite quiet activities.
