Wake Up, Pao Pao! Brian J Simon

"Wake Up, Pao Pao!" is a bilingual storybook for very young learners of Mandarin Chinese. Written from the point of view of the adorable young Pao Pao, the story chronicles the dream-like adventures of this curious little panda. Each line of "Wake Up, Pao Pao!" rhymes in Mandarin, thus reinforcing in young learners the proper pronunciation of the target sound. The text includes Chinese characters, pinyin romanization, and a simple English translation, alongside colorful and engaging hand-painted illustrations. Included with the book is a link to a free mp3 download of the entire story, to make the book accessible to parents, teachers, and caretakers who do not necessarily read Chinese fluently. Come join Pao Pao for a learning adventure your child is sure to love!
