60 books Chinese Mandarin Story Book with Lovely Pictures pinyin ,Emotional Idiom puzzle enlightenment short stories for kids,780 pages Paperback – January 1, 2017

These story books are quite cute, they are mostly stories with animal characters and full of educational values. These books are not made up of toddler friendly materials but they are not pamphlets as the other reviews described. If you don’t mind the material they are great buy! I use them to read to my baby to introduce variety of vocabularies. These books are in simplified Chinese in case you are wondering.

The books are basically pamphlets. They are decent quality paper with a cover that is slightly heavier and fastened together with 2 staples. The original intended audience is probably Chinese speaking children learning to read Pinyin or learning to read characters but they are useful for adults who are studying Chinese as a second language and want extra reading material. They are probably at an intermediate or advanced intermediate level but because every character has Pinyin above it, they can be used at a lower level if you are willing to spend time looking up the characters you don't know. The "Pinyin book" is a set of flash cards for learning Pinyin. The flash cards are card stock and have a hole punched in one corner. It comes with three plastic rings that can be used to bind some or all of the flash cards into a booklet or multiple booklets. The flash cards have Pinyin letters or diphthongs on one side and sample words and sentences on the other side (including Chinese characters.) They would be very useful for someone who knows Pinyin to use in teaching someone else Pinyin but not very useful to use if you are trying to learn it on your own since they don't tell you how to pronounce the letters. Overall, I think the set is worth the price.

LOVE these books - colorful pictures, mint condition, learning about stories/idioms.*Helpful pinyin, simplified Chinese characters. It's such a large collection I am so thankful we got these - they are lightweight and easy to take with us wherever we go!

The stories are simple and perfect for my 4 year old. I still have to do more explaining for the “Cheng Yu” books.They are very thin and light weight. I would not be able to keep these in areas where my 2 year old can reach. He will rip them into shreds in seconds.Like the other reviewer said, my order did not include the pinyin booklets either. I actually had an replacement order sent and it still didn’t have the pinyin booklets.

I started reading the books one by one slowly and it helped me a lot with my Chinese vocabulary. I loved how there's Pinyin as well as the characters to help you understand. Overall, great!

We received less than 60 books and no pinyin book. It’s so sad. I have to return.

The product description is misleading. There are 3 pinyin books missing, not included in the order.

The books are extremely thin, one page for each story, it’s expensive for such quality. And I did not receive the PingYing booklet as stated.
