The "Poetry Fun with Doggy the Shopkeeper" picture book series employs innovative methods to introduce children to the golden age of learning. Through shared reading of picture book stories, they can simultaneously recite beautiful poems, nurturing their appreciation for linguistic aesthetics. This is the ideal introductory series for guiding young children into the world of classical Chinese literature. __**★ Aesthetic Cultivation & Natural Cognition ★**__ The illustrations are delicate and warm, with exquisite and elegant color palettes, offering visual enrichment during reading. The entire series unfolds through the changes of the four seasons, showcasing the beauty of various flora, fauna, and the transitions of day and night in nature. Modern, everyday stories are conceived based on the Tang poem content, easily connecting with the life experiences of contemporary readers. __**★ Bilingual Design: Satisfying Language Learning All at Once ★**__ Includes both Chinese and English. Tang poem verses are also accompanied by Zhuyin symbols and Pinyin, offering a multi-layered linguistic structure that can be flexibly utilized. This allows young children to progress from listening to parents read, to reading along, and finally to reading independently. __**★ Engaging Interactive Elements: Training Little Fingers ★**__ Each book features five specially designed interactive elements – push, pull, and turn mechanisms – within thick cardstock pages. These not only train a child's fine motor skills and add dynamic fun to the story but also spark interest and enhance concentration, allowing parents and children to enjoy a reading time filled with joy and interaction. __**★ Enhanced Experience: Story Narration, Tang Poem Recitation, and Tang Poem Children's Songs ★**__ Tang poems are transformed into lively and upbeat children's songs, complemented by Chinese and English story narration and Tang poem recitations. This elevates the auditory experience, inviting everyone to sing and read poetry joyfully. Exclusively collaborating with Taiwan's KidsRead talking pen, this series offers audio and interactive features when used with the talking pen. __**★ Inspiration Behind the Creation ★**__ The author, Yu-Hsien Huang, is a native of Taiwan. He has long collaborated with leading picture book publishers in countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, accumulating over thirty published works. Recognizing the limited presence of local picture books in the Taiwanese market, he dedicated a year to meticulous planning, launching his first original Tang poetry picture book series in 2017. Drawing upon his experience with European and American publishing teams, creative methodologies, market insights, and his own upbringing immersed in Chinese culture, he brings these internationally-minded creative visions back to Taiwan, committed to creating superior original Chinese educational publications for readers of all ages. __**★ The Birth of the Picture Book Series: "Poetry Fun with Doggy the Shopkeeper" ★** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sUnpHthUEKI **【Praise and Recommendations】** British dad and Taiwanese mom reading Tang poems with their little ones for the first time. Dad's voice is deep and warm, Mom's is gentle, and the children hold their hands. This picture book series has brought immense breadth and depth to our family, transcending language barriers and inviting us to read it again and again. The vivid imagery and the profound meaning of the words bring familiar yet unfamiliar poems to life under the author's brush, passing on our culture to the next generation. *— Alice, Founder of Duo Duo Forest Picture Book House* This is a picture book series perfectly suited for children aged 0-7. Every detail is designed to meet the developmental needs of children at each age. The warm, whimsical art style, combined with the presentation of Chinese Tang poems interwoven with English stories, makes these books irresistible – a treasure that families will cherish. *— Fio Chen, Director of Music Together by Fio, Taichung* The "Poetry Fun with Doggy the Shopkeeper" series uses picture books to introduce children to Tang poetry, divided into four themes: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Original picture book content enriches the stories, aiding children in understanding modern interpretations of Tang poems. Coupled with ingenious interactive designs, this multi-functional book is an excellent aid for early language learning, effortlessly achieving the goal of learning through play. The warm and adorable illustrations by Yu-Hsien Huang (Xiao Xiao) bring a fresh look to children's reading selections where "there is poetry in the pictures and pictures in the poetry!" *— Jing-Ping Li, Brand Director of Quan Quan Children's Pop Music* Traditional Tang poems combined with fairy tales, accompanied by Xiao Xiao's cute and warm animal character illustrations, and uniquely designed interactive elements. This not only attracts children to familiarize themselves with the beauty of Chinese poetry through games and stories but also enhances parent-child interaction during shared reading. The Chinese-English bilingual presentation and the inclusion of Zhuyin and Pinyin are thoughtful touches, making these books enjoyable for both native Chinese speakers and non-native readers. This is a series of children's introductory picture books of international caliber in art, text, design, and education. It is highly recommended not only for parents with school-aged children but also as a exquisite collection for picture book illustration enthusiasts like myself. *— Anaïs Lee, Illustrator / Pattern Designer* The Tang Dynasty was a golden age for poetry and music creation. Poetry is the art of language, and music is the imagery of sound. The beautiful world constructed by Tang poetry is presented with rich and colorful scenes through Xiao Xiao's delicate painting style, naturally expressing the rhythmic beauty of poetry and stimulating children's boundless imagination for Tang poetry. Let us wander and play together in the wonderful world of Tang poetry. *— Shih Meng-Chi (Miki Laoshi), Associate Professor, Department of Childcare and Education, Chaoyang University of Technology* The "Poetry Fun with Doggy the Shopkeeper" series uses picture books to allow children to appreciate the textual beauty and meaning of classical poetry, integrating it with their lives through new picture book stories. Furthermore, the interactivity of a toy book provides children with a new reading experience that engages both their hands and minds. It is a collection worth reading aloud with your children to cultivate their language sense and play together. *— Yen Shu-Nu, President of SCBWI-Taiwan (Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators - Taiwan Chapter)* **【About the Illustrator】** Yu-Hsien Huang Born in Taichung City, Taiwan.
