The Giant Turnip
Goldilocks and the Three Bears
The Three Billy Goats Gruff
The Elves and the Shoemaker
Goose Fables
Little Red Hen and the Grains of Wheat

 

Fun Storybooks
These books are just plain fun! The storyline is catchy and the pictures are a blast. Give one of these books to the child (or adult) in your life who enjoys the fun of a good story:

Farmer Duck
We’re Going on a Bear Hunt
I Took the Moon for a Walk
Walking Through the Jungle
Handa’s Hen

 

Child-friendly picture dictionary (with CDROM)
Did you know that many children (and adults) can remember words better when they can hear the words spoken and see corresponding illustrations on the page? For the visual learners in your life, we highly recommend the following:

My Talking Dictionary
My Bilingual Talking Dictionary

 

Multilingual Posters
Teachers can really brighten up a multicultural classroom and make kids feel welcome with multilingual posters. The best part is that these posters come in  many themes such as:
