A blog focusing on Children's Books Review.

Purpose and Background:
Finding reviews of English children's books that you can order from Amazon is super easy in the United States. Similarly, in Taiwan or China, many websites exist that review children's books as well as sell them directly to you. However, finding Chinese children's books in the U.S. can be a problem in itself. Even when you're in a place already surrounded by Chinese culture such as the San Francisco Bay Area, it may still be difficult to know which are the best Chinese books for your kids, and where to get them from. My purpose here is not to solve all these problems. Rather, I'm going to take a very simple approach of focusing on how and where we get our Chinese children's books, and which ones we like. Just a little background - my son Calvin is 4 1/2 years old, and my other son Jason is 2 1/2 years old. My husband is American and speaks primarily English (with some Chinese words and phrases here and there). I was born in Taiwan and came to Virginia to start 7th grade there. I did manage to pick up English really quickly, and fortunately also continued with Chinese. So now I speak Mandarin to the kids, and read them Chinese books every night by their bedside. Amazingly, they still mostly speak Mandarin to me, and Calvin's Mandarin is quite advanced such that he can comprehend even the more complex stories.
