Publisher's Synopsis
Nursery rhymes are important for language acquisition and help with speech development. They also help children develop auditory skills such as discriminating between sounds and developing the ear for the music of words. Chinese folk jingles included in this book help children develop concept of counting, mathematics, the understanding of animals and different familiar household items. Children can improve their vocabulary in both English and Chinese, as well as getting familiar with some popular folk children's games and play from China. The diversity included in this book help children develop a sense of inclusivity and help them understand the world around them. Being exposed to different languages, sounds, rhymes, characters, etc. helps children becoming well-rounded citizens of the world starting from a young age. The folk rhymes and children's games from China are very valuable as they are not usually written in books, and are only passed down through generations orally. We hope to preserve some of that playful culture in children through this book. Hope you and your family enjoy reading it together.
