Small boys can be some of the toughest customers. Our resident 7 year old is no exception.

Can't say who was more pleased. Him, to have found something he really enjoyed reading? Or Me, to see him tackling these books with gusto! By himself! No persuasion needed! Yup, definitely me, I was the more excited one 😜

Starting to read independently, in any language, is such a milestone achievement. Who wouldn't want it to go well and prompt the start of a lifelong habit...

For those with kids just starting out, I place my bets on this excellent series designed to give confidence and giggles. Only tears of joy from now on!

Everyone needs a cheat day... Game books are my go to on a mid-week low energy evening.

No need to put on special voices, or even read every single line! Kids are interested from the get go, know intuitively what to do. And if I'm lucky, they take the lead entirely, leaving me some moments to zone out and recharge 😜

Check out our selection of storybooks that incorporate game elements, including this new gem for the 2-6yo crowd.

Happy R̶e̶a̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Zoning Out!

Admittedly, this is not the mood that came to mind when we first started on our journey to kick start a reading habit in Chinese.

1 year into it, with multiple fits and starts, it's a lot more rainbows and butterflies these days.

From one Potato-eater parent to another, take heart. Everything you want is on the other side of fear.

Check out our blog post on the website for some words of encouragement based on our own journey.

See you on the other side!

25/01/2021

Just in. Books for our littlest Potato Eaters. Brightly coloured and interactive, a sure hit with the 6mos-2yo crowd. For reading not for eating. Although they are sturdy enough to also withstand some curious bites!

Spending our rainy weekends with our new books.

A well timed shipment ensures we are never short of new material to enjoy, places to escape to at least in our imaginations, while we remain trapped indoors.

Lately, that place has been China. We've been exploring more from Chinese authors lately, and have come across some real gems. Including this marvel of a book on the importance of having dreams, safeguarding them and helping them take flight. Just beautiful. With full blown Studio Ghibli type overtones. Miyazaki should turn this into a film. Can't tell who loved this one more. The kiddos or the parents.

Children never tire of looking at absurd pictures. They also never tire of being right! This series is the perfect combination for young eagle-eyed readers. Boots in the fridge and snowman in the oven! Pre-schoolers to lower primary school kids will love seeing how many they can spot on every page. 

Complemented by straightforward stories, expressed simply using many high frequency words which makes them extremely accessible as independent reads for primary school kids and potato-eater parents alike. Potato Meets Rice Pinyin guide available as a standby crutch.

No more baby books for our older, newly independent readers!

Zorori the Fox has 3 main Life Goals: Become the ultimate King of Mischief, Marry a Beautiful Woman, and Live in a Huge Castle. All to make his mother proud. Pretty relatable stuff, really!

Short stories heavy on the pictures, but also big on the action and humour. And it likes to break mould by switching between prose and comic formats, making reading all the more fun. Oh, and it comes with pinyin too! Definitely one for your action lovers and / or reluctant readers. 

More details and purchasing available on our website.
