Little Pim


Little Pim is in!! 

Little Pim is a company that makes language learning DVDs for preschoolers.  We have ten languages (some are awaiting processing) available and they are very highly reviewed.  Languages include:  French, Spanish, ESL, Italian, German, Hebrew, Chinese Mandarin, Japanese, Arabic and Russian.  There are three thematic DVDs for each language:  Eating and Drinking, Wake Up Smiling, Playtime. 

Little Pim has even more activities to enhance language learning on their website.  One fun example is the Interactive Coloring Book - http://www.littlepim.com/fun-games/talking-coloring-book/

Thank you to the Friends of the Roxbury Public Library for providing the money for the purchase of this wonderful set of DVDs.  If you would like more information about the Friends, please visit the Friends website.
