Just a really quick post today to let everyone know about a children's book that my former German teacher (for all 8 or 9 lessons! :-) ) from Germany, who happens to be a children's book author, has just released what I believe is her first e-book. This isn't an affiliate link or anything - I'm just recommending it on the basis of her having been very helpful to me out of the goodness of her heart, which I really appreciated. I don't have any Apple devices, so I can't give a proper review. For those that do, here it is:

There's also an English version! That means you (or you and your children) can look at them side-by-side and use them to learn German (or English :-) ). Just a thought...
I also mentioned her website once before, but it was down then, so here it is again: Khorshid Verlag. You may find something you like there - there are kids books, etc. I don't know if you can buy direct from the website. If there's anything you want to order but can't find, either contact the author direct through the website, or let me know in the comments below and I'll ask her for you.
In the youth book section there's a book called "Der Letzte und der Erste Almani". I read a few sample pages from this a while ago and it was pretty good, though at the time my German wasn't good enough to really get into it, and I started part way through the story, so I didn't know what was going on :-)
I just wanted to make sure that I spread the word about someone who has helped me. If you do pick anything up from the website, let me know in the comments below what it was and what you thought of it!
Coming soon... "Passing the Goethe-Zertifikat-B2: a post-mortem" :-)
