A valuable resource for quality children's books
As a home visiting program that serves families who speak over 50 languages, Language Lizard is a valuable resource for quality children's books that support the ParentChild+ Program's mission of increasing parent-child verbal interaction and supporting early literacy practices in the home.

Beautifully done and just what we were looking for
These books were beautiful quality, arrived in record breaking time and were exactly what we were looking for. Our Pashto speaking students will hopefully be able to enjoy these stories as they learn English and have them for years to come so that they may hang on to their native language. Thank you!

A great bilingual book source!
Having language collections in libraries is essential. … libraries that offer language material to reflect their community is akin to spreading a welcome mat to their users. ...Language Lizard is a great source for bilingual books -- offering over 40 languages in well known titles and current books.

Beautiful books!
Could not be more pleased! I used the Personal Shopper service to place a large order. The books arrived a week later and they are beautiful! Bright and colorful, high-quality paper, well-worth the price… I know we will be ordering from Language Lizard again.

Great quality books and service
I had to write to tell you how absolutely delighted we were with the quality, illustrations and content of the books. We live in a very multicultural area and have children visiting the hospital who speak many different languages. Because the books are also in English our volunteers can read to the children or the parents can. What a wonderful service you offer.
