Review: This is a great little workbook. I've been learning spoken Mandarin using audio courses and Pinyin for about six months. Now I want to get famiy with the characters. This is a wonderfully logical and interesting book that I can see will get me off to a great start. Tombow brush pens (pictured) glide beautifully over the paper and don't bleed. I'm an adult learner.

Review: The book it a reasonably good introduction to writing characters -- I bought 3 of them for myself and for my 8yo twin daughters. It should be used in conjunction with 'Easy Peasy Chinese' book, which has some explanations and includes CD as well. Note, that this is a VERY basic introduction -- no grammar, no sentence building, just a characters. So you are not much wiser after finishing it. It is Ok as a very first step for self-learning, may be for interesting kids in Chinese , but overall I got mixed feelings. The serious problem with this book is the way it is bound -- it is quite thick for small pages and on practice pages it is difficult to write in area close to the bind. The Chinese symbols are hard to write as they are, so additional layer of complexity is annoying. Overall I am honestly cannot decide, whether it was a worthy purchase or not.
