misleading title, but still liked it
By Wynee IgelVerified Purchaser from Lino Lakes, MN United States on 2/5/2009

Comments about Chinese Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes:

I too thought this was translated Mother Goose rhymes, which I didn't want. The English sounds pretty good. I liked that there are traditional characters, but my Chinese isn't that good, so I can't read the Chinese to my kids. I also can't comment on the accuracy. The author selected nursery rhymes from two books published in 1896 and 1900 as well as original traditional Chinese text. The first publication date is 1968, so I think this is well done considering those things and that there aren't many nursery rhyme books available for non-fluent Chinese-speaking/reading people. I'm glad to have any books to help me teach Chinese to my kids and learn more myself.

Comments about Chinese Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes:

talked to many of my Chinese friends - childhood rhythms but no one likes the Chinese in the book. They certainly do not rhythm in Mandarin. The pictures are the best part of the book.

The title of the book is misleading. This is not a translation of "Mother Goose" rhymes. I bought this book at another web site that doesn't have a good description of the book.

Illustrations appear on ...
By Linda MarshVerified Purchaser from Undisclosed on 11/7/2007

Comments about Chinese Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes:

Illustrations appear on every page, but they are rather cartoonish. Rhymes are Chinese, not the Mother Goose Rhymes we know, but they are very similar and will be enjoyed by young children. The book is bound at the top, rather than the left side, which
