In the west, we take rhyming children's books for granted. In Chinese, however, high quality rhyming children's books are honestly quite hard to find!  This set is one of the rare exceptions. It rhymes in a rhythm recognizable to the ear of an English-speaker, while still sounding fluent and culturally-authentic to the Chinese ear.  

Why do we love this set? 

  • Vocabulary Relevant to Kids' Daily Lives: These rhymes discuss things that little kids do and see every day. Topics include: waking up, going to sleep, putting on socks and shoes, using the potty, waiting for traffic lights, meowing cats and barking dogs, sneezing, etc. 
  • Culturally Authentic: Several of these rhymes are adapted versions of traditional Chinese rhymes.
  • Simple and Repetitive: Each rhyme is only one to two lines, composed of 3 or 4 character phrases. When you listen to the music track each line is repeated multiple times.  
  • High Quality Music: Unlike some other Chinese children's music, these CDs sound contemporary and incorporate fun instruments to give each song a different feel. 
  • Adult and Child Narrators: CDs feature both adults and child singers. 
  • Great for the Car: Each CD has 8 rhymes, about 2 minutes for each rhyme (first minute includes the voice, second minute is instrumental karaoke version. CDs can be neatly stored in a slot with the corresponding book and kept in the car for on-the-go Chinese practice!
  • Sing-a-long Track: As mentioned above, following each original track is an instrumental karaoke version that you child can independently sing along with.

If your child is ready to recognize sight words, point your finger at each character as you read or listen to the rhymes. You may be surprised by how quickly your child will recognize some seemingly complicated Chinese characters.  

Book titles:

《早安晚安-zǎo ān wǎn ān》Good Morning, Good Night!
《小雨滴-xiǎo yǔ dī》Little Raindrop
《牛来了-niú lái le》The Cows Are Coming

    Is my child ready for this set?

    "Read to me": 
    Babies and children ages 0-3 will enjoy having these books read to them and listening to the companion audio CDs.  Additionally, Luka, the reading companion reads the book《早安晚安》Good Morning, Good Night!  in this set.

    "Read by myself": 
    The limited text per page, and the prevalence of repetitive common, rhyming language, makes this series ideal for beginning readers ages 3-5. 

    Happy learning!

    Really cute set of rhymes and songs. We got this for our 2.5yo and she enjoys different songs from each book. Each rhyme/song is repeated 3x, corresponding to a page spread in the board books. Note that they're short - each diddy is probably about 15sec long, if that. My next goal is to find some longer rhymes!

    Some of our 18-month old's favorites!

    Two of these books made our toddler's favorite books list :)
    早安晚安 [Good Morning, Good Night] and 小雨滴 [Little Raindrop] are books of modern nursery rhymes. Each includes a CD of the songs for car rides and sing-a-longs. 早安晚安 is all about the daily routine, with rhymes about brushing teeth, eating meals, and taking baths. 小雨滴 is full of onomatopoeia and movement, teaching animal sounds, sneezes, and dance moves. A third book in the set, 牛来了 [Here Comes the Cow], has traditional nursery rhymes but is not set to music, and so did not make the cut.
    The illustrations are beautiful, the Chinese feels natural, and the topics and vocabulary introduced are super useful in everyday life. Due to a rhyme about brushing teeth in 早安晚安 which says 边刷边唱咿咿咿 [as we brush sing E-E-E], our son now refers to brushing teeth as “ee-ee”.
    Our son loves listening to the CDs on car rides. They are well produced and not annoying for parents.

    The music helped my toddler take to Chinese very quickly

    My toddler is a little over 2 years old and we have not been using or teaching him Chinese in any consistent or earnest form. He immediately became obsessed with one of the CDs though because he loved the music. He quickly learned all the words to the rhymes and now has them memorized. Then he moved on to the next book and its CD, with the same pattern. Our other efforts to introduce Mandarin to him have been less successful, but this book has really given us an amazing jumpstart!

    Great way to learn, but not entirely Luka compatible

    Little Raindrop is my three-year old’s favorite from this series! Unfortunately we don’t get into the other books as much, because one of them is not Luka compatible (The Cows are Coming). It’s a bit odd that Luka only recognizes two titles out of this trio. Although the CDs extend the listening abilities, I’ve just gotta ask: Who has a CD player anymore?

    Still, we love turning to our favorite songs in Little Raindrop to listen to Luka and learn in the process.

    Hi Mayka, we're glad to hear that your 3yo likes Little Raindrop :)
    We agree that it is unfortunate that Luka does not read all of these books yet :( . In fact, when we first started carrying this set, Luka only read one of the 3 books in the series, so the fact that he reads 2 now, is actually a good sign. Hopefully, it won't be long before he reads The Cows Are Coming as well. As a reminder to you and other customers, the best way to find books on our site that Luka can read is to sort or filter by 'Luka Approved' or to look for the 'Luka Approved' badge on the first photo. Fingers crossed that we're able to add this whole set to the 'Luka Approved' list soon!

    Great tunes

    I love that these books include CDs. Each song plays twice: once with lyrics and once without. My two year old has already memorized the songs and loves singing along to the music. This is our go-to activity on a rainy day! <3

    Wonderful Music Collection!

    This is a wonderful music set! Our toddler enjoys dancing to the music and following along in the books. The songs are easy to follow along and the books are sturdy, well-made. Only drawback is that I wish there were more songs on each CD (there's around 9 short songs on each CD and after each song track, there is an instrumental track that follows). I was pleasantly surprised to find that there are music videos of some of the same songs in this set on 信誼基金會's youtube channel and that there are more songs like these.
