Hi kids_r_innocent,
The Japanese manga translated to Chinese books are actually more suitable for kids 8 or 9 years to teenagers. The words are actually quite difficult, though there are lots of pictures.

For preschool kids, I highly recommend
哆啦A梦
http://product.dangdang.com/product.aspx?product_id=9165243&ref=search-1-A

There are tons of them. Preschool kids will not be able to read them independently, parents need to read the words to them.

Popular sells a set of 6 哆啦A梦 in bigger size and full color. My P1 girl has finished reading all 6 of them and she likes them very much. My younger boy also ask my mother to read to him every night. There are probably about 50 more books in small sizes, black and white, and the words are quite small.

Dear Tamarind,

My gal does not like 哆啦A梦. So i am tempted to buy and read those comics translated from Jap manga for myself first. Any good recommendations....

Thanks!!

I bought the 喜羊羊 DVD, and also ordered the 喜羊羊 books (in comic form) for my kids. Both are a great hit I especially love the Chinese subtitles which come with the DVDs.
