Reviews for Goh Goh and Dai Dais Big Day with Elephant (Cantonese + Jyutping / English)

"""Want a book with Chinese characters, Cantonese romanization, English, and beautiful colorful illustrations? It's not a dream anymore!On most of the pages, there are a few simple sentences with a list of vocabulary words on the side. It is a finding book with a storyline. For example, when they were in the backyard. The book talks about who wants to go play in the backyard, and what the brothers like. Then there is a list of extra vocabs to find in the backyard. It is useful for expanding children's vocabulary in an easy setting and context."" - Fortune Cookie Mom, Goh Goh and Dai Dai's Big Day with Elephant ""Great story to teach kids Cantonese! As an ABC who can speak a little Cantonese and barely read Chinese, this book is perfect. It uses words as they are spoken in Cantonese instead of the formal way when it's written. The few other books I've been able to find use the formal way, which is confusing for me since I didn't learn it that way, plus it's not the way you would actually speak, which is the first thing I want to instill in my son. The sentences are simple, so it's great for teaching my son basic vocabulary, and it was simple enough that I could follow along with the Jyutping. FYI, the story follows Goh Goh and Dai Dai doing all sorts of daily activities... in the living room, outside, kitchen, eating, and bedtime routine. Please write more books like this!!!"" Goh Goh and Dai Dai's Big Day with Elephant - 5-star review on Amazon"
