I LOVE Ten Thousand Villages. Not only are there lots of unique gift items, but they are reasonably priced as well. I was just in one of their stores, and there were AT LEAST 6 different nativity sets from 6 different parts of the world. What a way to bring some culture into your holiday!

I love the “snap” feature to see the cover of the books. Neat. The Global Wonders sounds amazing. I am definetly going to look into those. We received a bilingual children’s book as a gift recently and it has been incredible. The kids love it. They use spanish that they just learned. So, I just want to point out to those out there looking for ideas that bilingual books are great.

The book we love is “Tim and Kim” by Kay Linda Nord. Apparently, she wrote the book for her young son and she grew up in a bilingual home. We don’t but I thought it was a neat story. The book shows both English and Spanish on the same page so kids can follow along and hear the difference. I found the author’s website to share: http://kaylindanord.com/

Thanks the post and blog. It is a great site.
