The English Roses Madonna Illustrations by Jeffrey Fulvimari Madonna debuts in yet another new incarnation of her self - as an author of children's books! The English Roses is a story of rivalry and friendship among schoolgirls in contemporary London. Four little girls - Nicole, Amy, Charlotte, and Grace - are eleven years old and the very best of friends. They have sleepovers, picnics and ice-skating parties that exclude Binah, a beautiful girl whose seemingly perfect life makes them "green with envy". However, when a feisty, pumpernickel-loving fairy godmother takes them on a magical journey, they learn to their great surprise that Binah's life is not nearly as enviable as it had seemed. The English Roses is an inspiring story about the importance of compassion and the rewards of friendship.

The Little Prince Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Equally loved by children and adults alike, The Little Prince is one of the most translated books on the planet - which is fortunate, as we are able to offer here editions in many languages for your (or your child's) enjoyment! With wonderful and whimsical illustrations by the author, this delightful tale straddles a world between adulthood and childhood, philosophy and fantasy, satire and fable, and reminds one not of great children's authors of the past, but of more unclassifiable writers like Carroll, Milne, and Tolkien, who seem to be writing as much for older as younger readers, and whose writings can be enjoyed on many levels. Written in 1943 by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, who disappeared shortly after in WWII during a flying mission for the Allies in Northern Africa, it became an instant cult classic and has remained so ever since. Enjoy The Little Prince in the language of your choice, and check regularly, as we will be adding new versions as they become available. The current versions available are: Afrikaans, Albanian, Arabic, Bengali, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Czech, Danish, English, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French, French Regional (Franco-Provençal, Gascon, Languedocien), Frisian, Galician, German, German Regional (Alemannisch, Bavarian, Fränkisch, Hessisch, Kölsch, Luxemburgisch, Pfälzisch, Saxon (Low), Swabian), Greek (Modern), Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Italian Regional (Ladin) Japanese, Korean, Kurdish, Latvian, Malagasy, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbo-Croatian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Spanish Regional (Aragonese, Extremaduran), Swedish, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, and Yiddish.

Language Littles Speaking Dolls These soft-bodied, sixteen-inch plush dolls represent children from France, Italy, China, Japan, Israel, Germany, Russia and Spanish-speaking countries, and are expressly designed to represent many ethnic backgrounds, as opposed to the blonde, blue-eyed prototype so often seen on toy store shelves. What makes them unique is their ability to introduce foreign language to children from preschool through grade school. Unlike other speaking dolls, Language Littles have a human recorded voice. Simply press one of the dolls hands and she will recite a series of "kid friendly" phrases. Press the other hand and she will count, recite colors, and/or days of the week; press a heart on the doll's knee and she will respond by saying "I love you". Each doll offers a direct translation from English to her designated language with perfect inflection. They offer such instant rewards that kids will delight in showing off their 'fluency' in a new language, while keeping them gleefully occupied. $47.95   Chinese - Ling French - Jolie German - Emma Hebrew - Sarah Hebrew - David Italian - Sophie Japanese - Yumi Russian - Anna Spanish - Lizzie Spanish - Ricky    More information for Language Littles...
