review 1: I LOVE this picture book. I love the concept which aligns perfectly with my own visual approach to the world and, I suspect, many children's also. (That of finding visual cues everywhere to help understand and learn things.) My 9 year old son loves the book as well and took great delight in re-reading it when he saw I had it out from the library again. The illustrations are delightful, work perfectly and have great style and design sense. The story is simple and follows the fairytale tradition, working perfectly. There's even a page at the end where the reader can practice or puzzle out which Chinese characters mean what, to test his or her memory and reading of the story. There's nothing that lets this book down.
review 2: I deeply appreciate the creative appr
... moreoach of introducing Chinese characters through simple visuals of everyday items.Although the book is not geared towards to teaching Chinese characters, it's inspiring to see the world the way Christoff Niemann sees more to life than what meets the eye. This book inspires a seeing a deeper level of creativity in the every day with children.A wonderful read for any cultural background. less
