Simplified Chinese Buds (0-3 years)

Authentic books

They're written for a Chinese audience. Too bad nothing can make a toddler interested in actually reading!

My little man loves it!

I got this so that my little one’s grandparents could read him stories and connect him with his rich Chinese heritage. It’s been so amazing to watch them read to him and open the door to Mandarin Chinese.

Not easy for non-Chinese parents

The books don't have pin-yin or phonetics to sound out the words. There is no translation either. The online videos accompanying the books only come for 2/4 books, and if you lose your spot, it's difficult to get back. I liked the flashcards, however, there is no English for what the characters mean.
