CIP infoOn a visit to a farm, Xiao Ming shows his friends the new Chinese characters he has learned by explaining that the characters are like pictures. Xiao Ming and his friends go to visit a farm. Xiao shows off the new Chinese characters he learned. Each character looks like the word it describes. Soon his friends are able to figure out what the words mean by how they look. The illustrations are unique and fascinating. The exchange between Xiao and his friends is perfect, possibly too perfect, but not enough to worry about. The Chinese characters are large enough so the reader may try to copy them. This is a must add to any collection.

Illustrations are done in cut paper collage.
