I'm looking for some children's books that are in Chinese (Mandarin). I'm currently learning, and I have found that an easy way to gain new vocabulary is to use children's books because the sentence structures are simpler, and the words are more basic. I'm not sure the best way to search for these, so if you have any tips or recommendations of books, please let me know!

Sounds like a good idea. i have studied Mandarin 20 years ago and am once again looking for an instructor.
