A great addition to any young Mandarin learner's library!

《马德琳在伦敦》Madeline in London
Is my child ready for this set?
"Read to me": Children age 3+ who are conversational in Chinese will enjoy having these books read to them either by Luka or a caregiver.
"Read by myself": Although the text is limited, the vocabulary is extensive and not repetitive. Children may be able to read this set independently if they know about 800+ Chinese characters.
Option to pair with Luka:
Consider adding Luka, the reading robot, to your order. Luka reads all but 3 books included in this set.
Set Luka in front of a book, and it will read aloud any page your child turns to-- creating a unique, independent physical book reading experience even if your child isn't ready to read by herself. Click to read our founders' personal review of Luka here.
Happy learning!
