A Look At Love offers books by various authors and illustrators so you won’t get two books too similar and you certainly won’t get bored! This is a really unique set that, rather, than focusing on a single topic or theme, it branches out into just… well, the life of a toddler! Each one presents a new opportunity to learn about and use the Chinese language as well as about everyday life! Things like saying goodnight or giving big hugs or learning to count or learning the sounds of instruments - the range is truly exciting!
