Chineasy for Children makes learning Chinese fun and simple. The book features playful illustrations by Noma Bar that relate each character’s shape to its meaning, alongside games and activities to make learning interactive. Introductory spreads explain how Chinese is written in pictograms―characters that form building blocks for other words and sentences. Subsequent spreads feature lively scenes that help children to recognise over 100 Chinese characters. The book is organised by themes such as numbers, family, animals and food, each section covering vocabulary within that topic. Stories about the development of characters and customs provide the perfect introduction to Chinese culture, while games and activities allow children to put into practice what they have learned.
