Multilingual Kids Books on the Web
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008I’ve been asked twice in the past week for free multilingual books.
Here’s a link I found called Books in Multiple Languages. They have English children’s books with translations in Spanish, French, Polish, Italian, Romanian, German, Chinese, Finnish, Swedish, Maori, Greek, Dutch, Farsi (Persian), Afrikaans, Croatian, Turkish, Russian, Japanese, Ukrainian, Portuguese, Arabic, Hebrew, Pennsylvania Dutch, Sloven, Indonesian, Malaysian, Hungarian, Dari, Hindi and Filipino.
If anyone knows of any other good multilingual book links, feel free to let us know about it in the comments below.
Someone was also looking for children’s books with animal sounds around the world. There’s one called Who Says a Dog Goes Bow Wow? by Hank de Zutter. You can click the link to see it on Amazon.

Can Anyone Help with an Bahasa Indonesian Translation of a Little Song Called “Cat’s Head”?
Sunday, March 18th, 2007We have a special circumstance where we’re looking for a Bahasa Indonesian translation of a song called Cat’s Head. The song is originally Dutch. We were able to get an English translation of it. If anyone can translate it into Bahasa Indonesian from either language, we would greatly appreciate it. Both versions are below:
Cat’s Head
(English)It was the birthday of the cat’s head.
His little legs were celebrating
His little tail could not join the party,
It recently has been ill,
He just came out of the hospital
And he has such a pain in his throat
All the dancing and jumping
Is too much for him.Kat Kop
(Dutch)De kop van de kat was jarig
zijn pootjes vierden feest
het staartje kon niet meedoen
dat is pas ziek geweest
het kwam pas uit het zieken huis
en had zo’n pijn in z’n keel
en al dat dansen en dat springen
dat was hem veel te veel.If you’re able to provide a translation, please comment below or email me.
Thanks in advance for your help!

La la la la…A Malaysian or Indonesian Song Sung by a Little Girl on a Video
Tuesday, July 4th, 2006Carole wrote me yesterday from Canada, asking about a Malaysian or Indonesian song that you can hear on the video at the link below. The little girl in the video looks super cute singing…
Dear Mama Lisa,
Congratulations for your wonderful site.
Since you seem to know some people from Indonesia, I thought maybe you could help me with this question:
Who is the little girl singing in this video clip…
Do you know what she is singing? The name of the song, the artist, and what does it mean?
I am from Montréal, Canada, and since I posted that video on my website, a lot of people have been asking who she is, what is she singing, what are the words in English to this song? or in French? She is a wonderful little girl, charming the whole world (Canada, USA, Europe, Brasil, etc…).
We all want to know :-)
Can you help us ?
Have a good day, and continue this nice work you are doing, it is very interesting.
Carole
