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

My recently turned 3YO son has been totally obsessed with the first Bao Bao book since last year and we love it so much its now become a staple in our gift rotation to welcome newborns, for toddler birthday parties, when visiting friends with little ones, etc. In the process of purchasing yet another gift copy, I was delighted to stumble across this recently released second book. My son recognized Bao Bao on the cover immediately when the Amazon box arrived and had already excitedly torn off the plastic shrink wrap before I even had time to find the scissors, and soon the familiar sound of Bao Bao’s songs was coming from his room. Over the past few days we have found him on multiple occasions just rocking in his chair listening to Bao Bao while enjoying his milk and snack (lifes pretty awesome when youre 3!), and hes already started picking up some of the new songs from listening to them on repeat, so needless to say, the new Bao Bao is a huge hit! I am always impressed by how quickly toddlers pick up new things, but the fact that every word of mandarin my son has learned so far comes from the Bao Bao books is really a credit to the genius of this adorable learning tool. He has always enjoyed push-the-button books, but Bao Bao is so much better -- and more often used -- than the piles of interactive toys we have amassed over the years. In fact, given how often our copy of the first book is played with, Im shocked we havent had to replace our copy by now -- we havent even had to replace the batteries yet -- so bonus points for a high-quality product in addition to the great songs and cute illustrations. The last thing Ill say about the Bao Bao books is that, unlike many other toys/books which make noise and can drive parents to the brink of absolute madness (especially in quarantine, where both space and patience can be limited...), both my husband and I get a kick out of the Bao Bao books, so much so that we dont even mind that its become a bit of an unofficial soundtrack to our WFH calls and web meetings. Highly recommend!!

One of my favorite things to gift is the gift of knowledge and imagination through books. Pei pei brought that love for books and learning into this fun singing book that ties in with my family culture with nursery rhymes I grew up with an Asian American. It really is one of a kind and I cant wait to share this book with other nieces and nephews in the future - and one day, kids of my own.

It’s an amazing sound book. My 2 years old daughter loved the first one (with the red cover) so I bought this one too, and it had the same success. The quality is very good, with nice illustrations, the music and voice are really sweet, and she could tell right away which buttons would play each song. It helps her build vocabulary at a surprising pace given that its not the language I speak with her on a daily basis.

Got the first one after getting the Spanish books for a gift. Glad we found these books.

Totally worth the price! We have both books in the series and my kids love listening to the songs over and over. The buttons are easy enough to press that my 1 year old can do it on her own, and the songs are a good duration, not too long and not too short. I love that there’s a mix of popular English and Chinese songs. So now when my kids start to sing “I’m a Little Teapot” in English, we can sing it through once in English and once in Chinese. They love dancing to the “If You’re Happy and You Know It” song also. We mostly keep the books in the car and it’s kept them entertained for countless car rides.

My 4YO son loves this book so much that he brings to bed and keep pressing the song to put himself to sleep. The singing is very soothing, not like the high pitch singing voice we hear from Spotify. I love the english translation of the song, so my husband who cant read Chinese can understand it. Highly recommend Bao Bao Learns Chinese books to all the Mandarin learning children.

Love these books! Definitely fills a need for Chinese American families! My baby is obsessed with the songs!

The Chinese is legit, and the pictures are cute. My baby is rough with it but its holding up great. I appreciate the 2 levels of volume. However, if you expect the English language words to be singable to the tune for Chinese songs, youll be disappointed. Its a great resource though!

My 7 yo and 5 yo love that these are some of their fave songs but in Mandarin Chinese. The pros are its sturdy, has 2 volumes and off sound switch. The only con is that the book uses simplified Chinese and we prefer traditional. My 5 yo even brought it into preschool for show and tell and his teacher thought it was great for the other students to hear their fave songs in another language. Overall a great learning and song book for children and makes a great gift!

We loved the first one and looking forward to learning more songs in this second book! My toddler was super excited when I showed her the book! Hope there will be 3rd, 4th.. etc so we can continue to learn more mandarin nursery songs!
