Growing up polyglot

Fort Myers entrepreneur Serdar Acar has been selling books and online materials through his company, Dino Lingo, to help parents teach foreign languages to their children.

Now he's launching a vast online library of children's books called Dino Books that subscribers can listen to and read in 21 languages. “We started writing and illustrating almost two years ago and a year ago we started putting the website together,” says Acar. “We spent a fortune on this.”

Dino Books contains more than 6,000 children's books, including nursery rhymes and short stories from all over the world. By June, Acar says he expects to have books in 30 languages on the site.
