Book Reviews of Favorite Children's Stories from China & TibetBook Review: Must have book about Chinese Culture for Children Summary: 5 Stars
Many children's books don't bridge the gap between being full picture books and full chapter books very well. This book is perfect for reading to older toddlers as well kids reading on their own once they are older. Mrs. Hume's collection of traditional stories from China are retold well and the illstrations by Mr. Lo are beautiful conveying energy, emotion and subtlety. Almost every single page has an illustration to maintain the interest of younger children being read to and the full-color illustrations are marvels of detail.
A nice touch is that region of each story is listed so readers can know where a particular story comes from in China. If you are interested in teaching your child about Chinese culture this book is a great acquisition, I know my daughter asks me to read from it every night even though she's heard all of the stories multiple times and I look forward to reading it because it's perfect for parents and kids
