What a lovely selection! I notice that the Elmer books just have the Chinese characters alongside the English, while the Gordon & Li Li books just have the pinyin. As a non-Mandarin speaker myself, I really need a book that has both! Please let me know if there are any you know of, or would recommend.
I totally understand since I wish I can have books with Chinese characters and zhuyin version or books with Chinese characters with pinyin. A good place to look for books with pinyin or zhuyin are a few Chinese/English bilingual bookstores online like childbook and asianparents. You can see my recommendation list here http://pinterest.com/mspandachinese/chieng-bilngual-bookstore-library/ Let me know if you need more information.
I have your cd and my kids love listening to it. Do you have other cd recommendations for kids to listen to in the car? Thank you!
Ni Hao! Thank you very much for your message. How wonderful to know that your kids enjoy listening to my CD! Your child might enjoy Little Dragon Tales: Chinese Children’s Songs. Keep in touch! Always keep learning fun, Miss Panda
hi,
Thanks for the info. I am a mother of two girls 3.5yr and 1.5yr. I speak mandarin at home, and the eldest attends mandarin daycare.
I have been struggling to find a mandarin pinyin curriculum to teach at home. Something that includes a teaching guide to list fun activities, games, etc. to make learning fun at home. Can you suggest anything that works? I find getting my 3.5 year old to write in the chinese workbooks can be painful and slow.

Ni Hao Sandy, I think you are doing a great job with your little ones and you give them the maximum exposure to Chinese language. Writing Chinese characters takes time and the younger children enjoy painting and coloring “words”. So it might be fun with your older child. I have a collection of Chinese learning materials, programs and more on pinterest http://www.pinterest.com/mspandachinese/chinese-learning-materials/ and I hope you find it resourceful. My First Chinese Words from Better Chinese might fit your needs as well.
sorry, i should clarify. What resources do you recommend for teaching READING and WRITING? We already do most of the things you suggest – watching chinese children cartoons, speaking mandarin at home (and with grandparents, playdates), listen and sing mandarin chinese children songs in the car and at home, etc. etc.
I also recommend that you check out the resources at ChinaSprout and Childbook websites for more reading and writing materials. You are surrounding your children with Chinese language input and it is wonderful. Keep the great job!
Hi, I would like to purchase an audio cd (iTunes) for Brown Bear, Dear Zoo and The Hungry Caterpillar.
Is this something you have? Or could create?
Thank you
Hi Laura, Welcome to the bilingual family community! You can purchase the Miss Panda Chinese CD on Amazon – http://amzn.com/B005C5UKLM

I enjoyed the Lunar New Year stories, especially “The Bucket” and “Three Minutes”. Thanks for introducing them.
Happy Lunar New Year! “Three Minutes” and “The Bucket” have told stories to express how parents express their love and caring through what they do for their children. Thank you for sharing your feedback with me.
Hi
Can I please ask if all resources are only for young children? Are there any for older children like those above 9 years old?
Many thanks,
Susan
