In the park is a great book to teach us a different language in a great way.
This book is about a Mother who teaches her son how to remember Chinese by different things they see at the park. I like how the author has the pictures and meanings in the front explaining what the word is. The pictures actually show what the word of choice is. At the beginning of most pages they have the symbols of what the mother is trying to teach her son. This would be a great book for kids wanting to learn new words in a different language. ( )

Xiao Ling gets excited to learn that spring is here and that he and his mother are going to the park. Throughout the book, his mother teaches him the Chinese language by writing the Chinese character associated with nature and Spring season. It's a lovely book because the reader will appreciate the Chinese culture of language and its writing system. In addition, the Chinese characters are easy to write as the author gives cues and tricks to help the reader be able to construct the proper strokes of the Chinese characters. All in all, it's an easy and simplistic book to read and the reader will enjoy and appreciate the beauty and logic of one of the oldest picture-languages in the world. ( )
