Features: There’s no need for us to say much in praise of this "Children's Picture Dictionary for Learning Characters." We can only confidently say that it is a good book, one worth buying without hesitation. The author of the children’s songs, Mr. Xie Wuzhang, is a top-tier children’s literature writer in Taiwan, known for his expertise in writing children’s songs and poems, with fame spanning both sides of the strait. His children’s songs are harmonious and beautiful in rhythm, while incorporating the characteristics of children’s poetry. He doesn’t insist on equal word counts or rhyming every line but instead creates an intimate and delightful atmosphere through the fusion of love and childhood innocence, showcasing wit and humor at every turn. This allows children to gain knowledge in a joyful way and receive aesthetic in a subtle manner. At the same time, it offers absolute benefits for children to learn Chinese well, enrich their imagination, and fully develop their intelligence. These features are perfectly reflected in this book. Mr. Xie spent years researching the shape and meaning of every character in the book and wrote a children’s song for each character—such a monumental project and such arduous labor! Choosing children’s songs as a child’s early learning material proves that you are more wise and understand better how to nurture young children. Research shows that children who read children’s songs extensively not only learn to recognize a large number of characters but also achieve twice the result with half the effort in enhancing their oral and written expression skills. Today, using the form of singing children’s songs to conduct early language education for children has become a new trend in education in Western countries. If you want to lay a solid foundation in Chinese for your child, start with singing children’s songs!
