At first my son wasn’t interested in them but over time he’s started to really enjoy these. I introduce a few at a time and I love that they are repetitive and cover very relevant topics (potty, making friends, birthday party, etc). I thought maybe they were too basic for him (he is now a little over 2) but still enjoys them

We got these for our almost 2 year old. The language and concepts are simple but generally effective. The topics are everyday toddler related things. Some of the books definitely hold his attention more than others.

Our kids are really enjoying the Baby Bear books! Simple and easy and cute. Luka reads them easily too! Love that you get so many books in one set -- it makes for a nice starting set instead of debating what individual books to get.

Fun and relatable contents to the kids' everyday life. Nice colors, 'clean' and easy on the eyes. These are my kids' Chinese book reading time go to books now :)

This is a cute set of beginner books for little kids. My kids don’t speak mandarin, but the story and texts are simple enough they can follow along.

Great set of books, relevant stories for toddlers with relatable content for them.
Drawings are colorful, cute and cheerful!

This is great for young kids or emerging readers! Very simple text and repetitive language. The illustrations are very cute. It’s also a very good value too in terms of the price and number of books you get.

My 2-year-old toddler LOVES this series -- he often reaches for these books when we ask him to get books so we can read together. It has taught him many life skills like sharing, cleaning up, and taking a bath. We always reference "little bear" and how "little bear" does these things, and it makes him more willing to do these activities as well. The pictures are adorable, the mandarin is easy and engaging. We love the books so much we have been purchasing them for our friends, and they have been super well-received. We're hoping there is a sequel to this series -- would 100% purchase on the spot!

Pros: 15 books with many many topics that includes: brushing teeth, how to make friends, how form a line etc. Very cute illustrations, simple 1 line per page, concept repetition (that's good for toddlers),

Cons: I have the vocabulary of 4th grader (reading level), so I'm not that proficient so many of the books include "sound" words like animal sounds, crying sounds etc. that I can't even guess w/in context how to pronounce, so I end up having to look them up a lot. The books are soft covers, which takes some getting used to by my little one (15months) so he's not as gentle w/ the pages.

I'm a heritage speaker with only basic literacy, and I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old who are English speaking. These books are great - the kids enjoy them, the language is simple enough and repetitive so that I am able to read (and translate into Cantonese) and they can understand. We are slowly building up some vocabulary and exposure. And the pictures are very cute!

I tried to introduce other Chinese books to him but they are either too advanced or he is not interested. He likes these little short stories as they simple and easy to understand. I just purchased another set for my nephew.

Bought these books for my son who is only 18 months. I think he might be a little young but he enjoys looking at the illustrations. The story line is cute and I look forward to reading it to him more when he gets older :).

After a month I can say that these books work very well for us (no fluent speakers in the home, one year into studying Chinese). The illustrations were engaging enough that my five year old enjoyed reading through all the books (with two clear favorites) for the first two weeks, which helped build a habit of reading with Luka. I was pleasantly surprised by the interest, as the stories are targeted a bit younger, and was happy to see them naturally pick up and start repeating some phrases. Now we are working through one book at a time to focus on building comprehension, and so far that is working. I'm happy with how our vocabulary around daily activities is starting to increase. As a bonus, these help us practice reading characters. Reading isn't my primary focus, but my kid did learn to read 50 characters at Chinese school and so having opportunities to practice some is great. They can now read the first two books and today they were happy to read the second book to little sibling :). I'm also planning to introduce this to my youngest at an earlier age, but have been happy with how this is helping my oldest learn and enjoy Chinese. Note that currently Luka only reads these in Chinese. (For me that is a huge plus and one reason I chose this set over others.)

We love this series for helping to retain our girls first language, Mandarin. The stories are cute and short and our girls listen with Luka then translate into English for us. Highly recommended!

Bought this when my youngest was 2.5, just starting to form sentences. The pictures are so cute that she absolutely adores them. She would make me read the WHOLE set EVERY night, before long, she would recite every sentence in the books, and then, she applies those sentences in her daily life. Now, she can tell the stories in her own words, using exclusively Mandarin! My older children are also reading to the youngest one before bed, when I’m busy preparing for bed time, this has given the older ones more confidence in reading.

The illustrations are extremely cute and the storylines are relatable enough to captured my three year-old's attention. It was an immediate favorite!

Great illustrations, very wonderful details. He loves the animals and the books are small enough for him to hold and flip. Best part is the Luka readings are so wonderful and have some great voices/background music that enhance the details.
