  • Awesome

    I have been learning Mandarin for a while and want to teach my grandson and this book is perfect.

    -Lucinda

  • Great Starter Book

    My son's Montessori has a Mandarin program as part of the curriculum, so we got this book to practice at home and love it. It is good quality, and has 4 words / page. It also has the phonetic english of each word making it easier for non native speakers

    -Krishna

  • Great for young mandarin learners!

    Awesome boardbook for a young child who are very new at learning Mandarin. Pictures are fun and cute, engaging enough for a 3 year old. She loves the pages and learned all the first words in this book quickly! Totally recommend!

    -Rodhelen

  • Large, Bright and Colorful!

    Eye-catching bright colors, cute illustrations and durable board book pages make this the perfect first bilingual English Chinese for our little one. We have gifted this to our little nieces and nephews as well.

    -Adore

  • Best Quality and Value Chinese/English Book!!

    More stars for this 3 in 1 bigger board book! Though already have the 1st Gordon and lily book, it is nice to have this consolidated value added book at the price of one book! My grand daughter enjoys the panda with each chinese/English picture/word. Lots of fun looking and learning!

    -Ty

  • GREAT Gift

    The amazing thing about giving this book as a gift to children you love is how much the adults in the room get interested in the book as well. It's a great learning tool and FUN item for young and old alike. Highest recommendation!

    -David

  • Great Book

    One of the best books for kids. I am 23 years, and it's so good. We need to learn any languages like kids, playing and having fun. Excellent book.

  • Absolutely Adorable

    My daughter loves it and want me to read it to her every night. The picture are very cute to understand.

  • A Fun Teaching Tool!

    This book is a gem! The vocabulary is well-chosen and organized by category, the illustrations are fun and the presentation colorful. Michele McSween's book helps make teaching and learning fun.

    -Jessica

  • Great for Dual Language and Culture Leaners

    A great first Mandarin word book with fun illustrations that young readers LOVE! Our experience with the Gordon & Li Li book series has been filled with curiosity and smiles from babies to elementary readers.
