Description
Introduce 100 basic and useful Chinese characters by imagining them as pictures. Large characters are superimposed on pictures of what they represent. See the word for “horse" atop a horse drawing; the word “ear" on Van Gogh, and more. First, characters are theme organized: my world, animals, nature, and China. The English, read-aloud text engages by asking questions, playing page “hide and seek," and more. Next, a picture dictionary shows the same 100 characters organized by concepts: body, people, food, animals, planets, and the like, with a small visual, the word in English (pinyin). A brief explanation of characters is included as well as pronunciation helps for parents. An English index with Chinese characters ends the book. Note: uses standard simplified (mainland Chinese) characters and British English spellings. 80 pgs, hc. ~ Ruth
