Traditional stores are little neighborhood stores, of the kind before supermarkets and convenience stores appeared. And, while there aren't quite so many of them anymore, they still exist in most neighborhoods in Taiwan. People can get almost anything they need there, from light bulbs to snacks, toilet paper to but spray. They are combination drug stores, hardware stores, market and marriage consultants (the shop owner!)

FOR USE IN SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES ONLY. When a crocodile egg rolls down the hill and into the nest with the rest of her eggs, Mother Duck pays no mind and raises the little crocodile as if he were a duck.

Christmas at the Bear family household is slim this year, but Mother Bear and Father Bear create holiday spirit by adorning their home with decorations sewn from outgrown clothes and a tree assembled from gathered branches dusted with flour. Little Bear worries whether Santa will come and ultimately proves to be the most resourceful to ensure that gifts are under the tree. On Christmas day everyone has a present—a mended kite for Brother; a once-missing umbrella for Sister; a favorite old hat for Father; and, for Mother, a long-lost button that has been conspicuously missing from her red dress. This charming tale demonstrates that even the smallest person can give big gifts, requiring only love and ingenuity.

Guji Guji (Spanish Edition)

Another picture book created by Chih-Yuan Chen, this story tells a tale about an oridinary duck. One day, an extra-large egg rolls right into Mother Duck's nest. She is busy reading and doesn't notice the new addition but this lucky event will change her life. Her hatchlings include a yellow duckling; one with blue spots; another with brown stripes; and a rather unusual, crocodile-shaped youngster, named after his first words. Guji Guji grows bigger and stronger than his siblings (and more crocodilelike), but Mother loves all her offspring the same. When three duck-hungry crocodiles make fun of Guji Guji's ways and try to tempt him into betraying his family, he is put to the test. This beautifully written story has much to say about appreciating families and differences and it will resonate with children long after the final page is turned. Chen's unique illustrations are compelling, down to the beautiful silhouette endpapers. The rich blues and earthtones and dramatic page layouts create moving scenes but the quirky details and characters' expressions are hilarious. This charming spin on the ugly duckling theme is a must-have for any collection. Bilingual version is in Traditional Chinese characters, Zhuyin and English (4 pages English translation is included at the end of book). An accompanying CD narrating the story in Mandarin Chinese and English comes with the book.
