1.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointed,
By A Customer
This review is from: Chinese Mother Goose Rhymes (Paperback)
... The rhymes were not v. good or catchy for a child, and did not flow. I bought the book for the Chinese translation, but was disappointed with the caligraphy and Chinese in the rhymes. The English translation seem OK, but translations are not really for reading out loud. One star for the good pictures which my daughter liked.

A nice addition to Western Mother Goose rhymes,
By
This review is from: Chinese Mother Goose Rhymes (Paperback)
There is a wealth of Western "Mother Goose" to share with children, but this is a wonderful alternative for Westerners who are looking for something "different." My five-year-old especially enjoys the riddles. I do not know how accurate the translations are, but they have a nice sense of rhythm and rhyme -- exactly what you expect in a nursery rhyme.
