开车出发系列绘本第二辑 Setting Off On A Tram Series 2 (Set of 6)

For now, my 3 year old flips the pages faster than I can read them. But I've enjoyed them myself though! And as always, the illustrations are super captivating for her, especially the vehicles she has not seen before. Very very fun set of books that I have no regrets getting. I know we'll be spending a lot more time with them in the near future.

Magical stories with mysterious air that fascinates the girls. And then the dinosaurs island one that has interesting depictions, and the space shuttle one that has some parallel illustrations to spark imagination!

The storylines here are much more fantastical compared to Series 1 and Series 3, so parents who are mindful about getting realistic books may not enjoy it too much, compared to Series 1. My 3 year old loves them all however! His favourite is 快递来了, a simple and interesting story about a delivery man sending parcels of "springtime" to children. The transition from winter to spring is really helpful to a Singaporean child used to summer all year round. Some storylines like foxes (kitsune) liking aburaage tofu, or how raccoon dogs are believed to be shapeshifters, stem from Japanese culture, and it would be really fun even for parents to read up so you can explain to your children! Kill two birds with one stone by introducing both Chinese language and Japanese folklore :)

Skipped Series 1 and went straight series 2 after running through the reviews.

Recently just read through 4 books in this series to my children. My older son who is into transportation recently ((especially trams and trains) enjoyed the stories thoroughly!

Very well illustrated. There is always a surprise in each story, and a magical element as with many Japanese stories.

On a side note, some of the pages did not seem to be folded in the correct way but that's minor for us.

My 3yo son really enjoys the first series so we decided to get the second series. They still feature the vehicles and the illustrations are as beautiful as ever. They also tell interesting fantasy stories!
