"Dog Manager Takes a Plane" became the perfect way to explain what flying is to my 16-month-old child. While such a young child cannot yet read or grasp the narrative, the book's greatest feature is its engaging interactive elements that attract babies. My daughter could use the push, pull, and turn actions to repeatedly reinforce her impression of the story. She runs to get the book every morning and busies herself playing with the mechanisms. Upon closer inspection, the same book has Chinese and English translations, and even phonetic symbols! Through the charming illustrations of Dog Manager and friends, children can experience the essence of Tang poetry from a young age in a simple and understandable way. When the child is older and can comprehend Tang poetry, they will immediately connect the dots. It's truly a children's book that offers enjoyment from infancy to adulthood! This series has also become the best introductory material for my child to learn about Chinese culture and language as an overseas mother. Especially recommended for parents who focus on language education! **—by Pei-Han Huang, Artist** **【Illustrator Biography】** Huang Yu-Hsuan Born in Taichung City, Taiwan.
