This is the ultimate fun book for screen-free entertainment!! Even I am having fun doing all the mini games and quests at every shop. We are really enjoying it so much
I bought this book because i loved the Japanese illustrations and it definitely piqued the interest of my child to learn a diversity of vocabulary from these different shops. A fun book and a recommendation to learn the mandarin names of different provision shops!
This book introduces a variety of different stores and the items you can buy at the stores. The beautiful illustrations are a plus. I didn't notice it, but my 3yo spotted that there was a fun "I spy" game for each store. Makes learning fun!
This book is small, handy and reasonably priced yet chock full of vocab that we can acquire at our own pace. Definitely a keeper! The illustrations are captivating such that when we read the book, we feel like we are actually at the store. It comes with a little booklet of suggested activities to do with the book. I have tried asking my 7yo to think about which items she can purchase with a given amount of money, and how much change she will be given - learn math and Chinese at the same time! 😄. The illustrations in the book are an inspiration for doodlers as well.
Thank you Joen for your review! It's true that the illustrations are so rich and detailed that it seems like we're there at the store. Love your extension activities post-reading too!
Love the illustrations! Many, many details to pore over. And we can go window shopping anytime and anywhere. Learning new words from the labels in the stores which is helpful when we go actual shopping and point out the items available.
