It's a wonderful book for sharing with and reading together with young children. **— by Yu Shun-Ling, Principal of Jian Sheng Kindergarten** When I received the new "Travel Series" from "Happy Poetry with Dog Manager," it was just before I was taking my child back to Paris. "Dog Manager Takes a Plane" became the perfect example to explain air travel to my 16-month-old. Such a young child cannot yet read or grasp the story's narrative, but the book's best feature is its engaging interactive elements that attract babies. My daughter could reinforce her impression of the story through repeated pushing, pulling, and turning actions. She runs to get the book every morning and is busy playing with the mechanisms. Looking closely at the content, the same book has Chinese-English comparisons and Pinyin! Through the adorable illustrations of the Dog Manager and friends, children can experience the mood of Tang poetry in a simple and understandable way from a young age. When the child is older and can understand the Tang poems, they will instantly connect and comprehend them. It's truly a children's book that offers enjoyment from infancy to older childhood! This series has become the best introductory material for my child to learn about Chinese culture and language as an overseas mother. Especially recommended for parents who prioritize language education! **— by Pei-Han Huang, Artist** **【Illustrator Biography】** Huang Yu-Hsuan Born in Taichung City, Taiwan.
