> 3 dayWe love this book so much! It’s so nice to have a book with songs from my childhood that I can share with my daughter! It brings so much fun and joy to our family everyday! We read it maybe 5 times a day. This book has the best quality of all the song books we own - no sharp edges, easy to turn pages, adjustable volume, durable cover. I highly recommend it! I hope more books will come out in the future!

> 3 dayWe received this book for free in a promotion. My 4-year-old loves listening to the songs. The book is beautiful, with a sturdy board book construction, cute illustrations, lovely music and singing, and the lyrics in characters, pinyin, and English. A nice book to share with a child to learn some Chinese and enjoy some music.

> 3 dayI really liked this book for my baby for exposure to mandarin, and also bought the other version (blue book). Songs and the singing are pleasant. However the red book stopped working after 6ish months of gentle use. Changing the batteries didn’t fix the issue. Blue book is still going strong so not sure if we got a lemon or if durability is an issue.

> 3 dayThis is the second book to Peipeis first Music Book and we are so glad we purchased this book! The first book had great songs, but we found that having a second book at grandparents home helped to keep our daughters interest level in Chinese songs. (Plus, wouldnt you want to have your child see and learn from a variety of bilingual books?!). Having a mother (who is a native speaker) and a father (who is a 3rd generation American Chinese), this book has helped bridge the gap for the grandparents to learn Chinese tunes together with our daughter. Now that grandpa more interested in learning Chinese, the whole family is singing catchy songs during play time and our daughter is just in love. Its been so cool to see how the grandparents have become more involved in her language learning because of this book! I reviewed the first book (which I highly recommend!) with the three things I love about the book that also apply to this one. But I thought it would be good to include more details about why my family loves the second book. 1. A mix of English-translated songs and childhood songs If you grew up with Chinese speaking family, a few of these songs might take you back to your own childhood memories. I quickly became reminiscent of my own childhood days when my mom and grandma would sing these songs to me and now they can do the same to my daughter. I love that the author included songs that have lasted generations in my family. As a Chinese American, I also have the pin yin and English translations (and Peipeis voice) throughout that help me understand the songs story and how to pronounce it accurately. 2. If Youre Happy and You Know It in CHINESE? This was amazing. Ive been singing this song in English 10x a day with my daughter (because she loves all the movements), but with this book, grandparents and I can sing it in Chinese! (Actually, Peipeis doing a great job singing it, via book). I love that I can now mix it up with a different language so that my daughter can hear both versions from grandparents and myself. 3. Songs that promote family time I love that the songs have a mixture of being a happy kid and especially ones that emphasize the importance of family. I just love that it inspires us as a family to sit together and enjoy each others presence. Weve made these songs into circle time with family and play time before bed because she not only loves listening to Peipei sing, but also us sing and dance along to the tunes. Its been so cute to see! I could continue to go on about Peipeis work, but I am just so appreciative of how much time and effort shes put into this book to allow my child to have a bilingual environment where the family members are engaged and learning together. Totally 100% recommend her books and I look forward to purchasing more from her! Thank you, Peipei!

> 3 dayWe had bought the first book a while back and our then 9 month old LOVED it. Now that he is older, he loves to push the buttons on both books so he can hear the lullabies. I like that the words are clearly enunciated. Once again the illustrations are wonderful and I appreciate the pin yin pronunciation so we can sing along. We also appreciated that we can adjust the volume on this book. I like that the book has a similar shape and feel as the first book so he can easily identify his Bao Bao books. Overall a great product!

> 3 dayWe received this book as a drawing prize from the author. My kids love it. My 7 year old is a 1st grade mandarin immersion student and was very familiar with all of the songs. My other two kids (3 and 5) have not started their mandarin educations yet but they were familiar with the most of the music and after about 10 minutes of listening, my 3 year old started singing along...in Mandarin! Kids are sponges at these ages so any new language exposure is amazing!!!! We are so happy to add this book to our library.

> 3 dayMy 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.
