Marek & Alice's Christmas: Czech & English is a high-quality dual-language picture book, suitable both for children who are learning and reading Czech and English in parallel and those being introduced to Czech or English as a second language. The full text is featured in both English and Czech and is not simplified so would be best suited to parents and/or children who already have a reasonable grasp of the language. It is an ideal story for teaching children about Christmas traditions in other countries.
