Yes, strongly recommend this series of books! It's coming close to a year since I bought them and my DS still enjoys reading and lifting up the flaps!

not sure about the full set, but i saw a book or two of this series in Westmall and Lot1 library. the condition is not so good (some flaps are torn) though.

Just an update on ordering books from dangdang.


It is indeed much easier to use Amex to order. You don't need the original Amex, those by DBS or UOB can do the job nicely.

And for people who are interested to join sprees in another forum, please read carefully all the postings.

I think there is one spree organiser who messes up all the order, and now the spreeists are chasing her for refund, but have yet to hear from her.

Agree with Tamarind that it is still best to order oneself if possible.

Does anyone have experience which credit card gives better exchange rate? My impression of Amex is that its exchange rate is usually less favourable, even those that co-brand with DBS or UOB.

MMM:

This is the series I was refering to. One feature is :
幼儿首100字 -幼儿200字 -幼儿300字 -幼儿400字 -幼儿500字
So they will have repetitive words to enforce the 100 words,etc... My K1 is currently on the 100 words series. But KS me actually bought the entire series up to at least 300 words in case we do not go to Msia so often.

Hi

Does anyone have both these readers and the 四五快读? I have the former and am wondering if the latter would be repetitive.

I've seen these books - I think at bras basah. They have these at my boy's playgroup too. I'm not impressed with them bc the words are so tiny.

For those who is looking for "basic chinese 500", saw stacks of it in Bras Basah Popular yesterday. $5.9 each, I think.

Hi,
Er, pardon me... What's the title in chinese for this 'basic chinese 500', if there is one?
