      One of the stuff I ordered is a series akin to chinese readers. These are mainly translated from some foreign language books (cos the illustration all very caucasoid (I don't think there is such a word)). My kids enjoy me reading to them from this series becos stories are short and quite action packed. I feel it's good value.


      There are 3 colours in all, yellow, blue and red - 20 readers in each series. Somehow the numbers intermingle. Books are quite small in size - so are the fonts (in case anyone doesn't like font size) but the paper quality is pretty good (compared with others I have seen).

      Yellow (I think this is for younger readers)

      Blue (mid range I think)

      Red (I think this is for older readers - more wordy)

        And for younger readers, this series is quite fun.

        It's about a family of 14 mice/rats and the stuff that happens to them. There's only 1 row of words at the bottom of the pages, but there is a lot going on in the illustration that fills the pages. Paper and illustrations are of good quality.

        Would recommend to those who are starting out. Not for those who are good readers.

        My kids are quite against chinese generally despite the race they are born into, but with books from dangdang, they are very happy when it comes to bedtime stories. It's such a breeze and joy to read chinese books with them.

        I'm looking forward to the day when they will pick these up automatically to read (a person can dream right?).

          My friend has been organising dang dang spree pretty often and many times. I’m not sure is it ok to share this however if you have problem or interested maybe i can check with her. Interested, Pm me. *I like to highlight i’m not earning anything just to share. And it’s between you and her to make whatever order and transaction. Only order when you are comfortable.

            yup, shipping cost is 50% of the original price listed, not dangdang price (which is always lower than original price).

                In my opinion eh.....it is best to order on your own. Because I have seen some SMH overseas spree actually earn $ from organising it. The list of purchase are not transparent right down to the organizer themselves. They could buy the books and then factor their own shipment cost to others and not the organizer themselves. Provided the organiser scan the receipt and shared this to others. To this date, so far none has practised this. So better to play safe. Unless you are troubled by the hassles and don't mind paying for others lah.

                    I think AMEX is easier than citibank becos there’s no need to enter that secure code. I never encountered any problems with AMEX.

                      OH NO! I was hoping it is citibank coz AMEX is American express and the charges can be ex ex leh 😢

                        Nowadays, credit cards are all free leh. When annual fee is due, you just call to cancel and they will most likely waive off. I had NEVER paid annual fees b4.
