Children fiction for Christmas

Is anyone looking for books for your kids this christmas? :-/

My friend just bought some books from an Asian publisher, that publishes fiction and non-fiction books for kids. Not your run-of-the-mill stories! :)

The author has a website of her own and has links to the book she has published.

This one seems to have a christmas theme and its an electronic book and its only $1.50. Anyone has a kid who is glued to his PC all the time??

  • sorry desigirl - I must be missing something here

    the first link takes you to a website based in singapore which charges $5 per book shipping plus $5 handling per order and a delivery time of 8 - 12 weeks

    plus payment is in dollars :(

    and the second is also in dollars and is just for downloading books :(
  • I saw that too.

    But I don't think payment in dollars is an issue. The credit card company will convert it in UK Pounds (which is going to be $5 / 3 as per today's conversion) and charge it to the account.
    The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket. :rolleyes:
