One White Crane

Ages 0 to 4

This Chinese-English bilingual board book combines counting with the months of the year, gently introducing young readers to these concepts.

One white crane sitting, two black bears sleeping . . .

Simply told and beautifully rendered, this counting board book takes young readers through the months of the year. Each month focuses on a new animal and activity, from seals swimming in May to cicadas singing in September. Sweet, accessible text in English and Chinese pairs with eye-catching art for a wonderful repeat reading experience.
