十二生肖系列故事特色

Twelve characters, twelve personalities

The picture books are packed with humour, passion and action. This makes reading a joyful experience for your child.

A child’s world is colourful and genuine. The stories transport the child to such a world of wonder.

It is here that children find themselves – witty, curious, friendly yet competitive, nature-loving and imaginative.

It is here that the characters can resonate with children. They can’t wait to grow up. They love to work and help. They imitate others instinctively. They want to become autonomous. When the stories put the child in the spotlight and adopt their points of view, children can empathise. They learn to laugh at themselves, and that things will turn out to be ok. This is also the power and joy of reading.

The stories are illustrated by artists, each in their unique style. The twelve characters come to life and become friends with your child, in a natural and simple way. Audio recordings by professional voice artists bring your child extra delight to read along.

The thirteenth book, the Making of the Chinese Zodiac, explains the origin of the zodiac system in a simple yet systematic way. It helps even a young child to appreciate traditional Chinese culture.

Twelve case studies, exploring a child’s emotional developments

Twelve case studies, exploring a child’s emotional developments

大話十二生肖 THE MAKING OF THE CHINESE ZODIAC

十二生肖是怎樣起源的呢?他們到底是哪十二種動物呢?他們的排位次序又隱藏着甚麼秘密嗎?讓我們一起去追溯一下吧。

What is the origin of the Chinese zodiac? Which twelve animals are they? Are there any hidden secrets behind the order of the animals? Let us find out.

What parents and teachers said about the course

Basic Chinese 500 words is a methodological teaching aid that encapsulated all the necessary step to teaching children Chinese words and sentences. Children is able to learn, create and ultimately put together all these words into day-to-day use. Basic Chinese 500 was learnt in integral part of forming our curriculum and I would highly recommend it to all parents and teachers.

在国内的两星期我每天和姐妹俩共读4节课,目前已经读完了两本。真的体验非常好,姐妹俩都喜欢,觉得画面很好笑。而且汉字的难度增长是潜移默化的,它每节课都会重复前面学过的词,像滚雪球一样,旧词会不断出现然后也不断加入新词,我能感觉到孩子们吸收的很快,好多字都认识了。

Chinese is not my main language. I'm now learning Chinese through this Sagebook series which I've actually bought for my 5yo son. I will follow the writing and write down the words on my notebook. It helps me to remember better. And the audio available helps me to pronounce the words correctly. Thanks!

I'm really satisfied with these books as this is helping both my 5 year-old and my 2 year-old daughters learn Chinese (the younger one is still studying [level] 2 but she seems to have a near perfect retention rate).

For SAGE, I really like that no preparation is needed. I point at the words and read once- she points at the words at repeats after me once- and simply from the way the book is structured through its repetition, it gets absorbed finally. I understand the starting is always the hardest, but in my experience with the SAGE, once you get into it, the rest runs like clockwork.

透過一個美國自家教學的華人家庭...我認識到《基礎漢字500》這套書。我由第一套開始給滴滴看,很有耐性地每天讀,結果平時可能學一個字學半天都學不會的滴滴,用了不到三個月時間學會了100個字,而且不會忘記,這實在讓我鼓舞。

I am very happy that my kids love learning Chinese (Cantonese) with Sagebooks that we use. Especially my 7 years old is very very interested to learn and go through very single set. That made our learning process so much smoother. She even helped me to teach her brother and sister. I am a proud mama now.💪💪😍😍 Way to go.

我七歲的女兒一口氣在兩個月內把第一至四冊讀完。她學習得很留順和特別用心,我估是她對自己的中文的自信心大大增加。而她更愛唸寶貝盒,因它們是真的中文故事書,而且內容生動有趣,又有挑戰性。
