Review on 📚 Fun and Educational Sound Book: Learn Chinese Nursery Rhymes with our Mandarin & Pinyin Chinese Board Book featuring Music for Babies, Toddlers, and Children - Bilingual Toy and Mandarin Book for Kids Vol. 1 by Trey Samuels

My first reaction to this book was, "Oh my god, how amazing! I wish I had had this book when my son was an infant/toddler!” Let me tell you why this book is so great - it's not just a book, it's: (1) a desk book; (2) song book with music and singing; (3) a book with some of the most popular Chinese nursery rhymes and translated American nursery rhymes that you all know; (4) interactive toys; and (5) a bilingual book in English, Chinese and Pinyin - all in one amazing book! What a wonderful concept! The author/singer is a mother who wrote this book for her child - she has a beautiful soothing voice and the songs took me back to my childhood and also when my son was a baby/toddler. Music is so important for babies and children. Listening to music has been shown to help children develop the ability to decode auditory data and sharpen their auditory memory, skills fundamental to understanding language. This book will help your kids learn Chinese without feeling of a lesson. The songs in this book are written in English, with Chinese and Pinyin pronunciations next to each sentence. Even if you can't read Chinese, you can sing along with the author as he reads the pinyin pronunciation. You will understand that you are singing/reading because English is always there. It's also a fun and easy way to learn how to read Chinese characters. As an added bonus, since this book is so sturdy and the song buttons are easy to press, your little ones can read/play with this book on their own! Need a few minutes break? Give them this book! I really can't say enough good things about this book!
