Two neighbors—and their bunny and fox friends—set out on a camping adventure. Are they sleeping under the stars in their backyards...or have fairy guides led them to an enchanted forest?
On each page, families can explore a mix of printed words, spoken words, fun sound effects, 12 original tunes, a story told through illustrations, and "seek-and-find" activities. The book sharpens hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills as well as vocabulary (the foundation of language and success in school), and is endorsed by teachers. Vocabulary words are printed in both Pinyin and simplified Chinese characters.
Help your child succeed in our global world; introduce them to languages in an engaging, immersive and enjoyable way—whether or not you speak Mandarin yourself. The Xiguan Elementary School in Yantai, China, validated the Mandarin vocabulary in this book, and native speakers from the community of the San Francisco High School of the Arts are featured in the book's recordings.
