Bao Bao Learns Chinese Vol. 2 | Musical Chinese Book & Bilingual Toy Gift for Babies & Toddlers; Learn Chinese Nursery Rhymes for Kids; Mandarin Chinese Board Book for Learning Chinese

This is book is amazing - high quality audio, visually appealing pictures, durable and strong pages. My two year old son loves this book and it keeps him occupied for awhile. We are very happy with our purchase and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun way for their young children to learn Chinese.

We received this book as a gift in addition to the first volume and my toddler loved it just as much as the first book. Really good selection of songs and would definitely give as a gift to all of my friends!

Volume and Songs are not as good as the original Red one

Let me tell you, my daughter LOVES music and this book has quickly become her favorite! She is 2.5 and loves that it has songs she already knows (and a few new ones) but it helps her connect with the songs even if they are in a language she doesn’t know. She sings some of the words of songs she’s always singing now in mandarin (or best she can mimic it), it’s the sweetest thing and really has me thinking she could pick up a language if I worked on it with her through songs and rhymes! I am loving it too because I can sing along (best I can) thanks to the phonetic spelling of each word! I may not get it all correct but it’s fun to try and I find myself thinking of the mandarin when I sing the English!

My child was gifted this book over a year ago, and he loves to press the buttons and him/sing along. Unlike other sound books, the sound is pleasant (not electronic sounding) and the volume control is a nice feature. Exposure to another language at an early age is important to us. Not being a fluent Mandarin-speaker, it’s nice to be able to follow along using the printed words to teach our son. It’s a well-made and well thought-out product. Highly recommend!!

My sons, 1 year old and 2 years old, both loved our first Bao Bao book so much that when I stumbled upon this 2nd book accidentally, I did not hesitate to buy it at all! I quickly scanned the songs in the book, place it in my cart and purchased the book right away! We received the book yesterday and I had told my eldest that I had a surprise to show him after his bath before bedtime. Once I gave him the book, he smiled sooo much through each song. I told him that he can go through the book one time before bed, but he asked to read/sing it over and over. We love the natural singing voice in the songs, the simplicity of the book, the coordination of the push button with each page and the cute illustrations on each page. My family is not a Mandarin speaking family. I am a Teochew/Vietnamese mama who is learning Mandarin so I can teach my boys. I love that the book is simple enough that even I can understand and follow along after learning Mandarin on my own for about a year now. I highly recommend this book (and the 1st book-red cover) to any family who are of Mandarin speaking or of non-Mandarin speaking. I give both her books that we have the highest recommendations without reservation! You will not be disappointed!

Let me tell you why this book, like the first, is so amazing – it’s not just a book, it’s a: (1) board book; (2) song book with music and singing; (3) book with some of the most popular Chinese nursery rhymes and translated American nursey rhymes that you all know; (4) interactive toy; and (5) a bilingual book in English, Chinese and Pinyin pronunciation – all rolled into one awesome book! What a wonderful concept! The author/singer is a mommy who created this book for her baby – she has a beautiful soothing voice and the songs brought me back to my childhood as well as when my son was a baby/toddler. Music is so important for babies and children. It has been shown that listening to music helps children develop the ability to decode auditory data and sharpen their auditory memory - abilities which are fundamental to language comprehension. This book will help your kids learn Chinese without it feeling like a lesson. The songs in this book are written in English with the Chinese and Pinyin pronunciation next to each phrase. Even if you can’t read Chinese, you can still sing along with the author by reading the Pinyin pronunciation. You will understand what you are singing/reading because the English is right there for you. This is also a fun and easier way to learn how to read the Chinese characters, too. As an added bonus, because this book is so sturdy and the song buttons are easy to push, your little ones can read/play with this book by themselves! Need a break for a few minutes? Give them this book!

The book has 6 different songs - at least half are in familiar tune to American nursery rhymes. The voice is pleasant. Overall, were satisfied with our purchase.

My granddaughter is 6 months old and while she is visiting with us I want her to hear her native language every day. The songs are perfect for this purpose.

I feel like I am being ripped off for wanting to expose my child to Chinese culture. Its hard to find good chinese board books.. and the ones on the market are pretty expensive. $20+ for 6 songs that are like 20 seconds long. The quality of the book is fine (better be at this price!) Content is fine, not great because some of the translated songs are slightly awkward grammatically. To me, its really not worth the price, but my L.O. enjoyed most of the songs and it was a bedtime favorite for a little while.
