Review
It's wonderful to learn about and appreciate new cultures. I fell in love with these charming DVDs and highly recommend them. As awareness about China and Chinese culture continues to grow worldwide, it is a good idea to have your children watch The Adventures of Walker and Ping Ping. --About.com Review

Product Description
An adventure through the Middle Kingdom, where the language, culture and history of China come to life in a fun and interactive way! Meet the fearless and curious Walker and his precocious pup Jack as they explore a new home in China and bump into best-friend-to-be Ping Ping in the debut episode of this exciting new adventures-learning series. In this adventure, Walker meets worldly wise Grandpa Joss for the first time, and the group sets out to collect three symbols from the Great Wall of China. While learning neat stuff about this ancient and imposing barrier, the group runs into a Silk Road merchant selling wares from the back of his trusty camel, as well as an imposing guard of the Great Wall. Fun for kids and parents alike, The Adventures of Walker & Ping Ping will take you exploring through the far reaches of China and bring a new culture and language closer to home.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Educational and Entertaining delight!, February 29, 2008

By	Deborah Nicotera (Sauquoit, NY) - See all my reviews

I watched this DVD with my four-year old at his Aunt's house and he keeps asking to watch it again. Walker and Ping Ping are two everyday characters that will capture your child's curiosity about China and what it's like to experience living in a new place. This is a "must have" DVD if your family has an interest in China and its culture. The animation is inviting and the story line reflects learning a new language while having fun as the characters journey along The Great Wall of China. To add to the experience, parents and kids can check out the website reinforce the lessons learned. As a parent and educator, I'm looking forward to more episodes of Walker and Ping Ping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chiao-tze, February 2, 2008

By	Chiao-Tze "Chiao Tze" (USA) - See all my reviews

I have children who have studied Mandarin, and two grandchildren who I hope will learn the language... I now know that there is a venue that will make that dream come true. I grew up bilingual in English and Mandarin, but I refused to speak it once we moved back to the US. Nevertheless, I encouraged two of our three children to study Mandarin in high school and college. Walker and Ping Ping will open a whole new world to children who grow up in the 21st century, and they will appreciate the importance of a global society and the value of understanding the interpersonal relationships that emerge from being able to speak another language. "Walker and Ping Ping" make this transition accessible and enjoyable to all generations, and I believe that it will help transend social and political issues in a way that will make the world a better place.
