This review is from: Ma Ma Hu Hu: An Introduction to Chinese Writing (Paperback)

This book is a kid's book, first off. It's short (38 pages), teaches less than 75 vocabulary words, and does nothing to explain pinyin. However, it DOES show how to write those vocab words (stroke order included!) in clear, handwritten-style text. It also gives ideogram visual memory tips (relates the modern drawings to the pictures they're describing) which are quite helpful. All in all, it's a great book for learning how to write a few Chinese characters, and worth the few bucks you'll have to pay for it!
