Rating : - Just perfect for preschoolers -- perfect intro to Chinese!
This DVD is fun and not overwhelming for my two-year-old and my four-year-old. Bao Bei definitely captures their attention (and affection!!) and inspires my children to repeat words and phrases in Chinese. I think that this is a perfect introductory series for English-speaking children. I have tried other DVDs, which had WAY too much information for kids and were too much like drills. The kids in this video are multi-ethnic and of various ages, which I really appreciate. My kids adore Bao Bei and her cricket friend. The quality of this series is tops!
