A must read if you are going to China

We took our three kids to China for a 10 day tour. It was amazing and easy to be with a tour group. However, we came back through Beijing on our way home without any help with a tour company, and this book saved us from making a big mistake.When we got off the plane to look for our hotel shuttle, we were immediately pounced on by all of these people claiming they would help us get to the hotel. Their aggressiveness was starting to scare us, when my son, who had read the book before our trip, reminded me that they were "black taxi" drivers. They get unsuspecting tourists to follow them away from the free and safe hotel shuttles. Who knows where we would have ended up or how much money the ride would have cost us. Even once we made the decision to get away from them, they got more aggressive and even followed us out to the shuttle stop. I was so glad I had gotten this book, and it is small enough to take it with you on your trip.

Should be censored.

This book was a little too much for my eight year old. I think they're trying too hard to make it enticing to the reader by including somewhat explicit stories. For example, Genghis Khan cutting the ear off of the people he had killed to prove they were conquered. I wasn't ready for this level, and neither was my eight year old, as he read it on the airplane.

This was very vibrant with lots of pictures. My daughter doesn't read yet, but she was able to flip through and find things she was interested in and ask me to read the descriptions. She has a school project on China coming up.

Worked to get our son involved in our trip

We took our 9-year old on a week-long trip to Beijing. This book got him excited about the trip and taught him a few facts that he remembered and recited while we were there. He was so excited about having his own kid-friendly, "not for parents" book that he hid it under his pillow every day!

FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS!

An excellent little encyclopedia of China. Beautifully illustrated. Fascinating for adults also. Extremely comprehensive for a small book. This book will satisfy any child of any age with an interest in China. Highly recommended.

Great!

The Not for Parents series is great. We have China and New York City, and will definitely buy others as the topics come up in school (or as we travel). Lots of fun facts, history and culture.

Very education and engaging

I can't recommend this book enough. I know it's not for parents, but I read it to my four and six year old, and together we learned a lot. I was an Asian studies major in college, but still learned a lot. Each page has multiple facts with short descriptions. It keeps their attention easily. There are many facts relevant to kids, so it peeks their interest. Very well done. I'm glad we stumbled across this at the library. If it came in Kindle edition, we would buy it! With so many facts, it's something you can read repeatedly over the years.

"everything" is an overstatement but it gives good intro to China, good as a gift for people in the west as well

Good all round information

Easy to use, colourful, just right for my short project with Year 2. A simple introduction to an amazing country.
