Luka® can read this book!
These Chinese Pete the Cat 皮特猫 (pí tè māo) books are perfect for children who are beginning to read in Chinese. Repetitive language builds reading confidence and aids in reinforcing common grammatical sentence structures. For readers already familiar with and interested in the Pete the Cat series in English, these Chinese books serves as a logical next step in a scaffolded learning framework.
Unlike many other world classics that lost their essence when translated into Chinese, this Pete the Cat set, co-translated by the renowned children's book author and translator 彭懿 (péng yì), is rich with lively Chinese language especially suitable for young children.
Book titles:
《做自己,才最酷》Pete the Cat: Too Cool for School《我想跟你一起玩》Pete the Cat: Robo-Pete
《爸爸妈妈,谢谢你》Pet the Cat: Rock on, Mom and Dad!
《皮特猫养了一条鱼》Pete the Cat: A Pet for Pete
《认识了一个新朋友》Pete the Cat and the New Guy
《反正就是很开心》Pete the Cat and his Magic Sunglasses
Is my child ready for this set?
"Read to me":
Children age 3+ will enjoy having these books read to them either by Luka® or a caregiver.
"Read by myself":
The limited text per page and the prevalence of common, repetitive language from daily life, makes this series an ideal "leveled reader" for beginning readers ages 7+.
Option to pair with Luka®:
Consider adding Luka®, the reading robot, to your order. Luka® reads 70,000 books in Mandarin Chinese!
Set Luka® in front of the book, and it will read aloud any page your child turns to-- creating a unique, independent physical book reading experience even if your child isn't ready to read by themselves. Click to read our founders' personal review of Luka here.
