[CALIBK12] Chinese-English book vendors

[Beth Olshewsky]

Hi,

We're looking for vendors that carry grade level fiction and non-fiction in a dual language Chinese-English format (4th-12th grade). In addition to having a general intention to build this area of the colleciton, we have teachers with specific requests for dual language presentations of English elementary fiction books like Bridge to Terabithia; Sarah, Plain and Tall; By the Great Horn Spoon!; and The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler. Does anyone even know if there are publishers creating dual language versions (one page English/ the next page Chinese) of longer fiction books? We have some that are picture books and early readers in this style, but have not found anything longer. We can find some that are just translations, but nothing that includes the English as well as the Chinese. We're looking for books with either simple or traditional characters as we are trying to accomodate both in our collections.

Thanks,

Beth
