review 1: The story in this was only meh, but it was a great introduction to Chinese characters and a way to show kids the differences in the Chinese and English language. There is a note at the beginning of the book that captures it completely - "On a recent trip to Asia, I learned my first Chinese characters. The ones that I could remember most easily were those that are little icons of what they mean, or the ones that show an idea (you put a person in a box and you get a prisoner)." On each page of the story the reader is introduced to a Chinese character at the bottom of the page that is also incorporated into the art of the story. My 6 year old and I found it fascinating to see the different characters and how they worked. We checked this out in honor of Chinese New Year and it... more was a great find.
review 2: What a cool book! And who knew that my son already read it at school and knew the Chinese characters? (I was very pleased. The school is totally worth my money!)Although I think some of the Chinese characters were inaccurate (or not what I learned), I did appreciate the pictures making the Chinese characters make more sense. I enjoyed all the pictures and the story was interesting.Very excited! less
