Mighty Little Monkey

Fifty illustrated storybooks that put two languages on the same page — and read every word aloud, one word at a time. Mighty Little Monkey retells Journey to the West, the classic Chinese epic, as 50 original picture books. Pick any two of twelve languages and both appear together on every page, so a reader who knows one can follow the other. It works as well for an adult studying Mandarin, or English as a second language (ESL), as for a five-year-old just learning to read. Two Languages, One Story Choose your pair on the cover and change it whenever you like. Both languages sit on the same page, line by line — a genuinely bilingual page, not a translation hidden behind a button. The meaning is always within reach, with no dictionary and no switching back and forth. Chinese pages show pinyin above the characters. Every Word, Read Aloud Tap play and the narration begins, highlighting each word exactly as it is spoken. A child who cannot yet read follows along by ear and eye together. Four narrator voices, and four speeds from slow to very fast, so the pace fits the reader rather than the other way round. Grows With Your Reader Every book has two reading levels. Easy keeps sentences short for a preschool beginner; Advanced tells the same story at length, with richer vocabulary. The same fifty books stay useful for years instead of being outgrown in a season. Follow the Journey West Fifty stories across five seasons, from the stone monkey's birth to the journey's end. An illustrated map traces the whole route — tap any place to open the story that happens there, and watch gold stars appear as your reader finishes each one. More Than Reading After the last page: a comprehension quiz, a Word Match game built from the words just read, and trophies to earn — the parts kids replay long after the story ends. Printable coloring and activity packs bring the stories off the screen and onto the kitchen table. Twelve Languages English · 简体中文 · 繁體中文 · Español · Français · Português · Deutsch · 日本語 · 한국어 · ةيبرعلا · Русский · हिन्दी Any two at once, in any combination — Chinese and English, Spanish and French, Japanese and Korean, whichever pair you need.
