The pictures are adorable, they captivate my preschooler's attention. The stories have short sentences that are good for my elementary age child to practice her Chinese reading.

This is a very good set of books for a few reasons. First, its illustrations of animals are beautiful. We constantly admire the way the artist/writer drew these animals. Secondly, there are only two lines of Chinese for each set of pictures, and they are repetitive. This makes it easy to read for beginning readers. My sons are not resistant to read these books because they have a sense of accomplishment when they can read through them by themselves. Now they make up their own lines mirroring the questions from the book and they respond to them themselves. Thirdly, these books paint such a good picture of family--young animals with their mother, father, and their siblings. It helps children see the importance of family even from a young age. My children are older now, ages about 7 to 15. Their Chinese reading level is still very basic, while their listening and speaking skills are more advanced. Still they enjoy reading these little books, because the message of the closeness in a family is so beautifully presented in pictures and in words. I hope to see my children grow more proficiency in reading Chinese, and I hope they have many more good choices to pick from, such as this set of books.

My toddler loves these books because they move along quickly and allow for fun guessing and interactions. He loves trying to guess whose footprint or whose baby is on the next page. He even has read them so much that he has many of them memorized and reads them to himself or his baby brother. My older daughter (age 5) uses them for Chinese character practice to recognize the characters and phrases in these books and they're simple enough to keep her motivated and encouraged! I am so grateful for this awesome set!

My son is obsessed with animals and loovveeessss these books! The animals are cute and realistic-looking, and the repetitive simple Chinese characters also gives him confidence and practice for reading. Highly recommend this set!

I got this set because my kids love animals and are starting their chinese journey so I figured this would keep their interest. They loved it my younger daughter (3) loves the baby animals and my older one (5) likes looking at the animals these are also compatible with Luka so if I’m not around they can still read these books as my husband doesn’t speak Chinese.

I have only had these books for about a week and after reading them to my kids a handful of times, my daughter started reciting the sentences on your own today.

The text is so simple and repetitive that she felt confident enough to “read” the book on her own! It was a happy moment for me as a mom to hear her using the language while interacting with a book!
