This will be a fun way to help Bats learn some Chinese words。 （and for Byron to refresh his vocab！）

This is such a great language learning book for toddlers！ My 3-yr old mixed child （half Chinese） loves this book！ The illustrations are cute and playful， the pages are nice and thick， and the words picked out are pretty useful。 The 1 star off is due to a couple of inaccuracies （toilet is ma tong and not ce suo， which is actually bathroom。 Jing yu is simply whale and not orca。 The word they chose for spoon is super formal and not normally used at all。 It should be piao geng or shao zi）。Instead of This is such a great language learning book for toddlers！ My 3-yr old mixed child （half Chinese） loves this book！ The illustrations are cute and playful， the pages are nice and thick， and the words picked out are pretty useful。 The 1 star off is due to a couple of inaccuracies （toilet is ma tong and not ce suo， which is actually bathroom。 Jing yu is simply whale and not orca。 The word they chose for spoon is super formal and not normally used at all。 It should be piao geng or shao zi）。Instead of including numbers 1-10 and then in 10's all the way to 100， what would have been more useful is to throw in common phrases instead。 I would have loved for my toddler to easily learn: thank you， hello， you're welcome， delicious， I'm hungry， I'm full， etc。But there are too few books like these so I applaud the efforts and want to see more！ 。。。more
