What a Customer thinks about Frog in the Well:
"The quality of this book makes it a lovely read! It is a lovely book, and the illustrations have captured my children. I sometimes read the book in English and replace just a few nouns in Chinese, and read the simple sentences I know my children understand in Chinese. I plan to increase the vocab as they understand more. But sometimes I just sit and read it aloud in Chinese while my children are busy around me playing. I think that is what is good about this book, is that it can cater for younger readers in this respect. But they can also hear more complex sentences too."
