Testimonials
What did your little one say about the book "I love speaking Chinese"?
She smiled and got excited about the animals in the book. We just introduced Chinese to her so it is frustrating to get her to sit down for lessons but she did sit for the book! I was happy.
She enjoyed reading the book with me very much. The bilingual aspect really worked for her and make her feel she can read it with me together. She reads English and I read Chinese. She really enjoyed that she's actively involved.
She enjoyed touching the board book pages.
He enjoyed looking at the pictures and making the animal sounds.
He loved the images in the book and was interested in looking at all of the characters! (6 months old, not yet talking)
He was very intrigued about the pages and he kept on flipping it back and forth and we sat down and read it together and he was very happy.
