My Little Book of Chinese Words

Did you know children in China use an “alphabet” in which words take on the form of the object? Children will be fascinated by how a tiny swash or a few dots can change the meaning of a symbol! Loosely organized by groups of related words, such as eye, see, seeing, to showcase similarities in characters. Nicely printed on heavy paper with an evocative wood-block image of the object, the ancient Chinese character, the modern Chinese calligraphy, the pronunciation of the Chinese word, and the word in English. 100 words. Paperback, 208 pages.
