*"Yi Er San takes children on a journey in Mandarin Chinese with over 25 traditional Chinese songs and nursery rhymes to enjoy... The accompanying CD introduces the sounds and rhythms of the language and along with the book, makes a fun way to start a very difficult language. The rhymes also give an insight into the culture." Parents in Touch "For appropriate family use the book is lovely and I'd also hazard a calculated opinion that many older children who are students of Mandarin Chinese will welcome this book as a brightly inviting extension of experience as an addition to textbooks and oral exercises" Armadillo *"This book would be an excellent resource for Chinese parents living in an English-speaking country and wishing to help their young children to learn Mandarin..."
