Mini Magic je dvoudílná učebnice pro výuku dětí v 1. a 2 třídě ZŠ, které se začínají poprvé učit anglicky. Učebnici je také možné použít pro děti v mateřské škole.

Oba díly obsahují šest zajímavých obrázkových příběhů, po kterých následují další aktivity a cvičení pro osvojení si jazyka obsaženého v příběhu. Děti s nimi pracují pomocí obrázků v učebnici, obrázkové knihy Big Book, flashcards a plakátů s opakovatelně použitelnými nálepkami.

Děti pak převyprávějí příběh pomocí svých vlastních malých plakátů a vystřihovánek.

Příběh slouží k tomu, aby si děti správně zafixovaly novou látku, kterou budou pak používat v komunikativních situacích.

In 1831 Nat Turner awaits death in a Virginia jail cell. He is a slave, a preacher, and the leader of the only effective slave revolt in the history of 'that peculiar institution'. William Styron's ambitious and stunningly accomplished novel is Turner's confession, made to his jailers under the duress of his God. Encompasses the betrayals, cruelties and humiliations that made up slavery - and that still sear the collective psyches of both races.

Three book editors, jaded by reading far too many crackpot manuscripts on the mystic and the occult, are inspired by an extraordinary conspiracy story told to them by a strange colonel to have some fun. They start feeding random bits of information into a powerful computer capable of inventing connections between the entries, thinking they are creating nothing more than an amusing game, but then their game starts to take over, the deaths start mounting, and they are forced into a frantic search for the truth.

Hyman Kaplan, the irrepressible student at the American Night Preparatory School for Adults, has captivated readers ever since he appeared in the pages of The New Yorker. Few immigrants have prepared themselves for the responsibilities of citizenship with such ebullience as Hyman Kaplan, and few have played such havoc with the English language. As he tackles his assignments in speech, recitation, and composition, Mr. Kaplan convulses his classmates and sorely tempts his teacher to promote him prematurely. But by final examination time it becomes clear that in the case of Hyman Kaplan, good will can triumph over grammar.
