Grimms' Fairy Tales: Dual Language: (German-English)
The tales have formed the basis for children's tales in the Western world ever since.
Reviews
"A beautiful book especially for the price."
"This cloth hardcover volume is 8.1 x 10.1 INCHES, 320 PAGES, with 27 STORIES (versus the flexcover 5.4 x 7.7 INCHES, 192 PAGES, 14 STORIES The Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm that, at roughly 1/3rd the price and practically identical-looking in online images, people mistake for being the same!)."
"There were so many positive reviews for the Calla Edition that I began feeling swayed but ultimately I went ahead with purchasing this edition because it is the complete works of Grimms Fairy Tales whereas the Calla Edition is not the complete works."
"The darker tones in the story lines make it more fun for adults to read, and I have to say after so many years of reading fairy tales that some of the dark twists in the stories surprised me, but it was nice to read the stories and not know what was going to happen because the story was much different!"
"The daughter grew up in a life of wealth and privilege which Cummings could not have provided. Years later, after a heads up from a friend, Cummings arranged to run into his full grown daughter in New York."
"Wow is this a nice looking book! I always hate when these manufactures make a nice looking book and then ruin it with a big ugly barcode on the back."

Best Children's Russian Language Books

Russian Learners' Dictionary: 10,000 Russian Words in Frequency Order
This dictionary contains 10,000 Russian words in order of importance starting with the most common and finishing with words that occur about 8 times in a million. ..."this dictionary can function as a useful yardstick by which they can guage their development and 'fill in' gaps in their basic wordstock.
Reviews
"While those things are fine, if your goal is to quickly increase your Russian vocabulary, then it just makes sense to use this book. Standard Russian/English dictionaries are a must for any learner's bookshelf but if you add this book too, then you'll master the vocabulary much faster and easier."
"These are words which you will encounter over and over again so it is very worthwhile to make a point of familiarizing yourself with them. Of course, this text, since it is based on written materials, does not really do justice to the spoken language however, for what it proposes to do, it admirably succeeds in its goal of providing a frequency list of the most commonly used 10,000 words in the educated, general language."
"However, for the time it has saved me in searching out the most frequent words in any sort of structure, I believe for me the price is acceptable."
"Great, never seen a book like this before."
"If you want to quickly expand your Russian vocabulary in the most logical and useful way, this is the book to buy."
"The book is sold as is, but I have actually had my Russian friends read the words and the examples aloud while I record their native pronunciation onto digital audio files. I hope that the next edition will be sold with a CD or MP3 files to accompany the product."
"This dictionary is immensly helpful in learning new vocabulary."
