Look no further if you are searching for fun books to motivate your sophisticated child to read in Chinese. These Incredible Zorori 怪杰佐罗力 (guài jié zuǒ luó lì) graphic novels come with appealing plots and Pinyin to aid experienced readers.
The stories follow Zorori 佐罗力 (zuǒ luó lì), an eccentric fox and his twin boar apprentices as they travel from place to place. Zorori becomes the King of Pranks. Despite being a wanted felon, he often helps those in need, but only when it plays to his advantage. His adventurous journeys usually wind up putting him in fantastic and bizarre situations.
While your child turns the pages, remind her to look for hidden patterns, mazes, mysterious maps and more interactive clues in the illustrations.
