Customer Reviews

Excellent!

This is a great picture dictionary! We have had it in the house for a long time and now my 6 year old takes it with him in the car and makes his own notes in it. It is great to have several picture dictionaries around so that your kids have a source to go to with a question. Great has pinyin which is essential for many new learners! [...] site for parents raising bilingual kids!

Great Resource!

As both a teacher and an aunt of three children who were adopted from China (one of who spoke no English upon his arrival here), I can say that this book is a great multipurpose resource. Adults can use it to communicate with children and children can use it to communicate with adults. The pictures are the key to its usefulness. You can use it to teach young kids who speak English common Chinese words. You can use it to teach English to children who are Chinese. If you "google" it, you can find it, new, for 11.95 on another shopping website.

A great little start to learning Chinese

Not only does this book have the photos and the English translation but it has the Chinese pronunciation in "pygn-english". It's easy as pie to read and follow. Though there are not to many phrases, it's a good book for the learning of nouns.
