Little Panda Tong Tong hopes his dad can do everything for him. He also wishes that his dad can spend more time with him. The Tong Tong Tong series of picture books use stories and colorful illustrations to teach children about traditional Chinese values. The lively illustrations and lift-the-flap featurs definitely appeals to young children aged between 3 and 6. 

In an endearing homage to dads everywhere, a boy describes and exaggerates the many accomplishments and feats of his father. Among the traits praised are his enormous talent for singing, his near-professional wrestling skills, his extreme bravery in the face of danger (he's not even afraid of the Big Bad Wolf!), and his ability to eat like a horse. All of the pictures feature the lovable pater in his signature plaid bathrobe, adding a further comfy layer to a book whose ultimate message is "I love my dad. And you know what? HE LOVES ME! (And he always will.)".

In this unique and delightful picture book, the story literally unfolds as pages open dramatically, extending both outward and upward. Monica wants the moon to play with, so her Papa sets out to get it for her. It isn't easy to climb all the way up to the moon, but he finally succeeds -- only to find that the moon is too big to carry home! Fret not, Papa surprises all of us with his ingenuity, and the story gets a joyful ending! 

How do the fathers of the various animal species look like? How do fathers and children interact in the animal kingdom? In this fun-filled and vibrantly coloured picture book, your little one will learn all about the fathers in the animal kingdom, and draw parallels between what he/she reads in the book, and his/her interactions with daddy at home! 

This book comes from a series of picture books that introduces traditional Chinese festivals to young readers. Comes with hanyu pinyin, so daddy and mummy don't have to worry when reading it with your little one! This paperback copy is around A5-sized, hence making it extremely convenient to bring around.

This book is similar to the first one recommended (see above), but suits older children (aged 7 and above) better. It explains the origin of the Dumpling Festival, introduces customs related to the festival and promotes the appreciation of Chinese culture.
