Apples + Arithmetic

Ok - so.... LOVE LOVE LOVE this company and product range. This is my baby/young child gift of choice, hands down. I have been giving sets of these books to friends and relatives for a few years now, and the recipients (Both parents and children) are enthusiastic consumers. Many have gone on to expand their collection. I usually give gifts of the Spanish sets, but also a few Mandarin. I even keep a set in my Art studio for children when their parents come to visit... & they are used & appreciated all around. Frankly I find them fun to play with myself, and showed them to a Chinese woman who has moved here and is just learning to speak English. I grew up learning to be somewhat proficient in French, but enjoy playing with the Spanish books. Good Investment.....

This book set is super high quality and very easy to use. My son was able to count to 10 in Spanish after a couple hours of using it.

We got these a year and a half ago when my kids started a French immersion program (I don’t speak any French). They love them and still use them all the time, and my littlest who isn’t in school yet loves them too. We’ve since bought all of the French books, and if they put out any more, we’ll get those too!

Outside of what you can get directly from Hong Kong, this is the best Cantonese content we’ve found anywhere. I especially love the bilingual options to get the kids engaged with the material and more familiar with the new vocabulary, then the option to fully go to Cantonese. The little musical interludes and nursery rhymes on each page are always a great touch.

I had my eye on these books for years and am so glad to finally have bought them. They're great quality and the grandparents love seeing the kids take an interest in their culture (and it also helps the grandparents learn English!). The kids love tapping away to find 'surprise' music and can usually be found grabbing them to play with as soon as they come home.
