My Very First Little Chinese Book(TM)
Overview
Your child's first Chinese book - real characters, friendly sounds, and the four tones made simple.
My Very First Little Chinese Book(TM) is a gentle, beautifully illustrated first reader that lets parents and children learn Chinese (Mandarin) together - even if you've never spoken a word of it. Under every line, the Pierce Pronunciation System(TM) re-spells each word the way it actually sounds. No phonetic symbols. No guesswork. If you can read this sentence, you can read Chinese (Mandarin) aloud tonight.
Every single line of the book appears three ways - the Chinese (Mandarin) text, a friendly say-it line, and the English translation - so you always know exactly what you are reading and exactly how to say it.
How it works: 我看见月亮。 wo3 kan4-jyen4 yweh4-lyang4. I see the moon.
Every line shows true Chinese characters with an English-friendly say-it line beneath, plus color-coded tone numbers that turn Mandarin's famous four tones into a game a child can see. A dedicated Four Tones page (ma-ma-ma-ma ) makes the music of Chinese click for the whole family.
Inside this book:
- 25 short, warmly illustrated lessons - grandma's stories, the farm, breakfast, the moon, bedtime
- The Pierce Pronunciation System(TM) - color-coded tones - each of the four tones gets its own color, so children can see the melody of Mandarin while they say it
- A friendly Chinese (Mandarin) Sound Key that teaches the language's special sounds in minutes
- A Bridge of Words - a map page celebrating the shared history between our two languages
- Say It Out Loud - an expressive read-aloud page (whisper it, boom it, sing it )
- How Many Can You Say? - a gentle graded quiz where your child discovers their own level, from Little Sprout to Little Linguist
- A soothing bilingual bedtime close: Good night. You are loved.
Perfect for: ages 2-7 - bilingual and multicultural families - heritage speakers - homeschool - gifts for curious little minds - bedtime reading that quietly becomes a superpower
