The Chinese Picture Dictionary for Children

The Chinese Picture Dictionary for Children is a powerful vocabulary builder for non-native learners aged 5-14. It presents words in context through attractive illustrations and photographs. Essential vocabulary is presented through 62 themes, making language learning more meaningful and effective. Through these pages, we want to stimulate children’s interest in the Chinese language, and provide a platform for more fun and engaging learning.

Each theme presents 15 to 20 words in a double page spread. The words are carefully selected, high-frequency words which are most commonly used in everyday life. A total of about 1,100 words are presented, each annotated with pinyin.

To add to the excitement of learning, we have placed a little monkey in each double page spread. Children will enjoy finding the monkey each time they turn the page!
