The Frog in the Well (Chinese - English bilingual book) (Chinese Edition) (English and Chinese Edition)
The Frog in the Well is both beautifully written and illustrated. The story of how the frog views his world will jump off the pages for children while educating them about Chinese culture and language. I have had an interest in China ever since a 4th-grade teacher opened my eyes to the country and its people, culture, language, and history. The Frog in the Well will create a spark for learning about China and the most spoken language in the world: Mandarin Chinese. Parents, teachers, and educational leaders should be encouraged to help children discover China, and The Frog in the Well is a great tool for doing so. This will help prepare our children for the transformational world that they are entering and make America a magnet for Chinese investment in the future. Don't just sit there, hop on over and pick up a copy of The Frog in the Well. --Tom Watkins, Michigan State Superintendent of Schools (2001-2005) & Honorary Professor, MianyangThis book fills a huge void in the pool of bilingual reading materials. Not only is the story told in both Chinese and English, but the Chinese characters are accompanied by both Pinyin and Zhu Yin Fu Hao. With this unique and important feature, The Frog in the Well provides truly fabulous reading for beginning Chinese readers of all backgrounds. --Maiheng Dietrich, Faculty at University of PennsylvaniaIrene Tsai tells stories that speak to readers of all ages.
