\u201cI just love these books. \u00a0The stories are engaging, the writing is terrific, and the book design is perfect for people like me who are just learning how to read Chinese. \u00a0If I see a character that I don\u2019t recognize, I can just look across to the facing page and \u00a0read it in pinyin. \u00a0And if that isn\u2019t enough, the glossary and English versions at the end give me what I need. \u00a0Can\u2019t wait to see more in the series!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLU ANNE BOURLAND\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Good introduction to one of most enduring characters of Chinese culture. \u00a0This book and its sister book are excellent for people who are learning Chinese. They tell the stories of the Monkey King, one of the most enduring characters in Chinese culture in an easy to understand manner. They also provide good reference for the Chinese characters used in the stories and their English translations.

The pinyin side by side with the characters is most helpful to someone like me who is beginner\/intermediate level and trying to learn Chinese characters. The pinyin is on the opposite page to the characters which makes it easy to reference while not making it so easy that I end up reverting back to just reading pinyin. Very helpful!<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got kids in a Mandarin immersion program and they said this was at about a 5th of 6th grade level for them. I liked a lot that the English was not on the same page as the characters \u2013 too many books do that and then the kids don\u2019t read the Chinese. Seeing as many MI programs have the kids learn the Monkey King stories, it\u2019s nice to have a version in Chinese that\u2019s readable for MI students. Too many of the versions out there, especially the picture books, are meant for native Chinese speakers and presume a much higher level of literacy than students in the US could have. This really hits a nice sweet spot for middle school kids in MI programs.<\/p>\n

I am not quite, but essentially an ABC (\u201cAmerican-Born Chinese\u201d). I grew up speaking Chinese but not really learning how to read\/write it. This is helping me learn how to read Chinese again. And the Monkey King is such a Chinese classic, it\u2019s not to be missed.<\/p>\n

I am a beginner in learning Chinese and I like this series of books very much. The story is interesting with lots of unexpected things to happen. More important as the story itself is perhaps the good conception of the books. There is not much choice of Chinese readers with Pinyin Text (even not without) \u2013 of course you could work with scanning and OCR tools, then google translator. But that\u2019s a lot of work and not error free\u2026 This books can be used \u201cstand alone\u201d without the help of dictionaries or the internet.
\nI also love the audio recordings, they are of good quality and reasonably clear and slowly spoken, but the impression is not artificial, more as if you would tell the story to your child \u2013 and that in fact is the frame of the books. There is also no annoying intro music or something alike.
\nThis book series is worth every penny and with every book you will learn better Chinese, because the vocabulary is from book to book developing. That is good. A lot of praise \u2013 but someone has to do it!<\/p>\n
