Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you have Mandarin speakers in your house and are trying to teach a child Mandarin, this is an excellent book. It's pretty enough to hold my two-year-old's attention. I've found a few incorrect tones and several odd translations, but it's mostly high quality. I'm very pleased.
If you don't have Mandarin speakers, this book poses several challenges. First, you'll have to learn how to correctly pronounce the words. I haven't visited the associated website which apparently lets you hear the words. But if you don't speak Mandarin, you'll need to invest substantial time learning how to pronounce pinyin before you can use this book effectively. And, second, this book doesn't display English alongside the Chinese characters and pinyin. It's usually obvious what the word means, but the pictures aren't always obvious. If you already know Mandarin and are teaching a child, that's no problem. But if you don't know Chinese, you may scratch your head looking at 10% or 20% of the words and associated pictures.
