Gordon lives in Brooklyn, New York and speaks English. Li Li is from Beijing, China and speaks Mandarin. Together they are two lovable panda cousins who want to learn each other's language.
Kids read along with Gordon and Li Li, learning basic words and their correct pronunciation. Each page spotlights a single word in English and Pinyin along with the simplified Chinese character and the phonetic pronunciation to speak the word in Mandarin.
The durable board book features colorful illustrations from artist Kevin Murawski. Words for Everyday is the perfect first-step in getting kids excited to open the door to learning a second language – and future language success.
This title — along with Gordon & Li Li: Learn Animals in Mandarin and Gordon & Li Li: Count in Mandarin — has been consolidated into My First Mandarin Words with Gordon & Li Li, published in 2018 by Cartwheel Books, an imprint of Scholastic Inc.
