What would you eat if you lived in Southeast China? What language would you speak if you lived in Beijing? Discover the history of China's bustling capital city and learn how to say "I love you" in Mandarin. If You Were Me And Lived In...China (A Child's Introduction To Cultures Around The World) by Carole P. Roman is a charming children's storybook with educational undertones. This book introduces the young reader to the Chinese language through a few Mandarin words and phrases. Travel the diverse and distinctive landscapes and climates that make up the beautiful, unique country of The People's Republic of China. Enter into the home of a young family to experience the lifestyle of a Chinese family and learn about the considerably varied and distinct regional cuisines. Come explore legends in a light prelude to China's deep, rich history.
If You Were Me And Lived In...China by Carole P. Roman is an award-winning, brightly illustrated children's educational book written in a similar style to the If You Give A Mouse books. The story includes vibrant and stimulating illustrations, engaging text, and fascinating facts that are certain to entertain and educate the early reader. I appreciated how the author included so many relevant perspectives and statistics, all while keeping the story light and entertaining. Although this the fifteenth book in the If You Were Me And Lived In... series, the quality of the author's many stories seems to have only improved. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Roman. I would recommend this book to the early and middle-grade reader, or to complement an educational module on China.
