Fantastic book! Beautiful artwork, and a GREAT way to learn Chinese characters!

I teach 5 - 7 year old children at Chinese School. I use this book in my class to teach the action vocabulary as well as the numbers. I love the fact that all the words are actions, and I have them do the actions while saying the words so that the children can make a physical connection to the words themselves, which makes it easier for them to remember. In addition, she has selected words that use hands and words that use the feet, and in a future lesson, I will show them that they can guess at a meaning of a words by recognizing the "hand" radical versus the "foot" radical. This is a fabulous book and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning Chinese characters!
