Simple fun rhyming
It’s hard to find books that rhyme as a non native Chinese speaker, but this does a great job. I love how big the Chinese characters are, it’s very helpful for literacy!

Great book for early learners if Chinese
This book is so cute and a fun way to learn Chinese for little ones. The sentences are short and simple, starting with a number, a measure word and an animal doing different activities. It’s in English, simplified Chinese with Pinyin so it’s easy to learn the pronunciation when reading along. Illustrations are eye-catching and engaging. Kids will enjoy this and learn simple phrases in Chinese at the same time.
