Ideal both for children who are just
beginning to learn Spanish and for young, native speakers looking to
increase their vocabulary, this picture dictionary uses fairy tales to
help children learn more than 5,000 words. Each letter in the alphabet
centers around one particular fairy tale or story—for
example, all of the words listed under the letter
“a,” such as “abacus,” revolve
around the fairy tale Aladdin.

(Fall of giants)
Ken
Follet
Fall of Giants
delivers all the elements that fans of Ken Follett have come to
treasure: historical accuracy, richly developed characters, and a
sweeping yet intimate portrait of a past world that you'll fully
inhabit before the first chapter is through. The story follows five
families across the globe as their fates intertwine with the
extraordinary events of World War I, the political struggles within
their own countries, and the rise of the feminist
movement.
