Luka® can read these books!

If there was ever a series we doubted could be translated into another language without losing its charm, Mo Willems' Elephant and Piggie series (开心小猪和大象哥哥 kāi xīn xiǎo zhū hé dà xiàng gē ge) would be it! However, Chinese translator 戴永翔  has done a great job preserving the essence of Mo Willems' signature style in these translated editions.

Why we love these books: 

  • Simple dialogues in large speech bubbles 
  • Repetitive phrases and common expressions 
  • Carefully scripted text in a conversational style
  • Most importantly, kids find them laugh-out-loud funny

All these features make these books incredibly engaging beginner books for even the youngest Chinese learners.  Children who knows about 300-500 Chinese character would feel an incredible sense of accomplishment and build their reading confidence as they complete each 57-page book!

Collect the complete series of the Elephant & Piggie books, and add to your collection the Elephant & Piggie 8-book Set, which includes 8 additional paperback books that are not included in this 17-book set. 

Differences between the two Elephant & Piggie book sets we carry: 

Both Elephant & Piggie Book sets are excellent translations that have preserved Mo Willems' books' playfulness, simplicity and humor. There is, however, one main translation difference:  The 17-book set translated the elephant's name "Gerald" phonetically into a Chinese name "杰拉(jié lā), “  while the 5-book set translated "Gerald" into "小象"(xiǎo xiàng Little Elephant).   Although "杰拉(jié lā), " as a translated name, is not considered frequently-used vocabulary,  each character by itself is high frequency character: "杰 (jié, excellent", and 拉(lā, pull).  

Is my child ready for this set?

"Read to me":
Ages 1+ will enjoy having these books read to them either by Luka® or a caregiver.

"Read by myself":
The limited text per page and the prevalence of common language make it a good "bridge book" for readers. The involved plot and detailed illustrations will capture the interest of experienced readers ages 3+. 

Option to pair with Luka®:
Consider adding Luka®, the reading robot, to your order. Luka® reads 70,000 books in Mandarin Chinese! 

Luka reads all 17 books in this set in Chinese, and 8 books in this set in English also (just tap Luka's head twice to switch languages). The 8 books that Luka reads both in English and Chinese are:   

《吓你一跳!》(Xià nǐ yī tiào!) I Will Surprise My Friend!
《第一次参加派对!》(Dì yī cì cānjiā pàiduì!) I Am Invited To A Party
《看我来扔球!》(Kàn wǒ lái rēng qiú!) Watch Me Throw The Ball
《今天我要飞!》(Jīntiān wǒ yào fēi!) Today I Will Fly!
《你头上有只鸟!》(Nǐ tóu shàng yǒu zhǐ niǎo!) There Is A Bird On Your Head
《大个子抢了我的球!》(Dà gèzi qiǎngle wǒ de qiú!) A Big Guy Took My Ball!
《开车去兜风!》(Kāichē qù dōufēng!) Let's Go For A Drive!
《新朋友真有趣!》(Xīn péngyǒu zhēn yǒuqù!) My New Friend Is So Fun!

Set Luka® in front of the 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 themselves. 

Happy learning!

Great set to buy, it's worth it!

My son loves this series, it's funny and easy to understand. He reads them with Luka's help. He even attempted to read some Chinese characters on his own. I think it's both educational and fun. It helps him to love reading books in Chinese.

Great book to teach Chinese!

My 3-year old daughter loves the Piggie and Elephant books in English, and we use the Chinese version side by side with the English books to learn Chinese. The Chinese translation is generally pretty spot on with the English version, which is very helpful since I'm not a fluent Chinese reader.

Hilarious. Kids ask for them again and again.

Elephant and Piggie books are so fun in English, but I wasn't sure what it would be like reading them to kids in Chinese. Luckily, the translations are wonderful and the simple text and super fun illustrations make these books hilarious and exciting for kids (especially if read with lots of emotion and different voices for elephant and piggie!) A true classic that kids adore.

One of my favorite book series for kids

The Elephant & Piggie books are great for beginners in any language, they actually don't have a lot of text to begin with yet are able to pack a lot of wit and humor that even adults will appreciate. It DOES make frequent use of "bam! pop! blrrrgghh!" type of words, which are pretty difficult to translate, but overall I still highly recommend it.

Terrific & humorous books

The stories are engaging and humorous. Appreciate the easy to read character font as well. Purchased these books because they were recommended by Chalk Academy for beginner language learning. We would recommend the series too!

Sara, thanks so much for taking the time to share your family's experience with this set.
For readers unfamiliar with CHALK Academy, it is a great resource for parents of kids learning Chinese ( chalkacademy.com ).

Great and fun books.

My 5 years old and 2 years old love these books. We read to them every night and they always laugh at the funny scene, it never gets old. A lot of joke and humor, the picture illustration are great as well. The kids are also having fun in the last page of the book where they can find one item thats different from the rest.

Daughter loves it! Box is flimsy.

I had read a number of good reviews about this series so decided to add it to our collection for our daughter. They are very entertaining and cover a wide range of dialog between the elephant and pig. I think the jokes and humor are culturally western so sometimes some things are weird to read in Chinese. My daughter loves the characters although she's still a bit too young and her Chinese level isn't high enough to read it yet herself. I can see it being a very fun read and good practice in the future for her to expand her reading skills on though. Sort of a next step after the basic books like Sage or a supplement after you have maybe 200+ character knowledge. Very fun for parents to read to their kids though as the content is very light.

My only complaints would be that I wish the box it came in was sturdier, its sort of a thin cardboard and is easily bent and scratched. And I wished there was a traditional chinese character set, but maybe that's asking for too much these days.

Albert, thank you so much for your frank feedback about this set. We wish the box it came in were sturdier too! Like your daughter, our own kids love these books though and that is the reason we decided to carry them. If we start carrying TC books, we'll be sure to let you know ;)

Happy to find this series in Chinese

We purchased this set for our preschooler because we had had such good luck with them both in our other target language (Spanish) and the few I had been able to find in Chinese prior to finding these. I was very happy to find this set at a competitive price. I can't speak to the translation quality as a non-Chinese speaker, but this set was worth it to us because the stories hold our child's attention very well. I value the motivation it provides - my preschooler often brings these books to Daddy to read, loves to "teach me" a word or two when we read together with Luka (as well as tell me all about what is going on), and often will get these books out during free time or rest time to look at. We're focusing much more on comprehension than reading at this level, but these books have offered us opportunities to review some characters from weekend school, and I've noticed that my kid has identified a couple new characters just by reading these with Luka. Luka does sometimes stumble over reading some of these, which can be annoying, but is outweighed by the positives for us. For reference, we've had this set for a bit over a month, we don't own any of these books in English (though we have read several in English, including because Luka has recordings in both languages), there is no native speaker at home, and our child's Chinese is very beginning level.

Good but...

My daughter has taught herself how to read in English through the original series. They are funny and interactive and well written. However, some things definitely can be lost in translation and this series does that. I also think that if she hadn't read the English versions first, it may have been better. Luka also has trouble reading this because the illustrations are not covering the majority of the pages, we find. I would only recommend this series if Elephant and Piggie have never been in your English library and the first time your child reads it is this version.
