The Fantastic Fig: Explore Fruits, Vegetables, and Shapes in English, Russian, Chinese & Spanish

From six-sided pomegranates to triangular watermelon wedges, The Fantastic Fig introduces your kids to basic shapes with a cute collection of illustrated fruits & vegetables.

Great for all Ages: This imaginative picture book covers foods ranging from ordinary oranges to exotic star fruit. Every page features fun artwork and helpful translations in English, Russian, Chinese (Traditional & Simplified), and Spanish.

Thoughtful Translations: The last few pages summarize all foods & shapes into a concise study sheet, including different regional translations for concepts known by different names in different countries. Strawberries, for example, can be called Клубника or Земляника in Russian. Likewise, in Chinese, there is more than one way to say Rectangle and Pentagon.

Pronunciation Help: Using the same Chinese Pinyin learned by native students in China, every word in Mandarin comes with its phonetic counterpart in the Roman alphabet. Accent marks are also included to help identify the proper tone in Chinese.

Growing into Global Citizens: Inspired by his own multicultural family, David Ming wrote his Bilingual Kids Series to bring together children, parents, and grandparents across cultures and generations. His hope is for multilingual books to make story time more inclusive and fun for everyone. Whether teaching your children to be bilingual or learning a language for the first time, this book is for you.

Yeh! Books. Explore Words. Explore Worlds.
