Subject: arabic acquisition

A doc student and I are starting a project to track outcomes in cochlear
implant users in Saudi Arabia. We would appreciate any leads on child
speech/language acquisition in Arabic, particularly in this specific
region (we do know that Arabic shares many features with Hebrew and are
pursuing this), especially work in progress or otherwise not easily
tracked through typical bibliographic search utilities. 

 Further, we feel that Frog stories may not be culturally appropriate to
use in eliciting narratives in this population (the animals are either
unfamiliar or have negative valence locally) - does anyone know of a
picture book that might be more appropriate for eliciting narratives from
children 4-12?

Any help most greatly appreciated!
