Good book to add to the collection.

I was expecting fewer words for a younger crowd but my one-year-old likes flipping through the book and looking at the pictures. She doesn't give me a chance to read all of the words, but she doesn't do that for her other books either. I think this will be a good bedtime book when she's older. Very thin paperback book, but wide. Translations seem spot on.

Hmong Translation Is Off

Before translating english words into a different language, you need to understand the linguistics and semantics of the language first. The words/phrase/meaning used are not the type of phrases Hmong people would say so rewording the words are important. And sentence structure is different in the Hmong language. It's very important to have a professional translate correctly next time. Overall, the book had beautiful visuals.

beautiful

I ordered this book along with the "are you my baby" book and they are both absolutely beautiful. they both arrived quickly!! my daughter is half hmong so Iam attempting to teach her hmong as iam taking hmong classes at my local JC. this book will be very helpful as the paragraphs are longer and they have both English and hmong translation. the book itself is paper but the graphics are beautiful and it seems study. in love!! thank you so much.. still looking for more hmong/English books :)

Such a cute book to read. Just a little hard to read in hmong, making it a tongue twister for these animal pronunciation.
