Book Description From the Front Cover Flap

Writing Chinese characters is really fun. It is like drawing pictures.

One beautiful autumn day Xiao Ming and his friends take a trip to a farm. Xiao Ming can’t wait to show his friends the new Chinese characters he has learned, and his friends are just as excited to see them.

Follow along as Xiao Ming explains how to read ten Chinese characters, and discover the beauty —and logic—of one of the oldest picture-languages in the world.
