Fairy Tales (English-Chinese Edition): The Magic Brush, Little Horse Crossing the River & Classic Chinese Stories

The Magic Brush, Little Horse Crossing the River, Snow Child, The Puppy‘s Little House & More — 8 Beloved Chinese Tales Retold in Cartoons and Simple Bilingual Text
This book collects eight Chinese fairy tales that children in China grow up hearing—stories about a boy with a magic brush that brings paintings to life, a little horse who learns to cross a river by himself, a snow child who sacrifices himself to save others, and a puppy who finds a new home. Each story is told in Chinese and English with cartoon illustrations, so you can follow the action even if you are still learning the language. The tales are simple, but they carry real lessons about courage, kindness, and growing up. If you want to meet the stories Chinese children love, in a format that is easy to read and easy to look at—rather than study an academic collection of folklore or flip through a picture book with no text—this is it.
