News Release
October, 2005 At the recent Frankfurt Book Fair in October 2005, agreements were reached with publishers of Milly, Molly in the Italian, Spanish, French, Turkish, Arabic and German languages to combine resources with Milly Molly Group Holdings and Popular e-Learning Pte Limited of Singapore to make multi-lingual Milly, Molly Interactive CD ROMS that will also include the simplified Chinese language. Each publisher will contribute financially to the development of their language model, as well as taking responsibility for the editorial and audio content of their respective language. This may be the first time that such a prestigious group of publishers have combined resources for a common commercial project.
The project will aim to launch two Multi lingual Interactive CD ROMS (Milly and Molly's Monday; Milly, Molly and Beefy) at the Bologna Book Fair in March 27 - 31, 2006.
The publishers expressed their desire to combine the launch with an International Milly, Molly Convention where marketing information and experience can be shared. Jose Antonio Lopez Martinez, President of Grupo Everest de Comunicacion, which holds the Spanish and Portuguese language rights, commented that "Milly, Molly is very important for the children of the world today and Grupo Everest is committed to supporting Milly, Molly in every way." This sentiment was echoed by Italian publisher EDT, who has established a very comprehensive web site devoted to Milly, Molly - www.millymolly.it
