Tiny Travelers China Treasure Quest is an adorable travel book to introduce little ones to many of the interesting locations and traditions of China. The illustrations are beautiful and make the country come live for the reader. The quests help to make sure children are engaged in the story.

I would recommend this book to children who travel to China with family or as part of an educational unit.

Thank you to Encantos Media Studios and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

A rhyming book for young explorers. It has famous places in China, some facts, some Chinese terms and cultural references. It is fun to search for the treasure in each page. Illustrations are bright and colourful.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the eARC.

This installment of the series is chock full of super happy pictures of kids and families enjoying themselves while eating, traveling, and celebrating holidays. My favorite picture is the one of all of the pandas rolling and lounging, because who doesn't love pandas?

The story is told through rhyming verse which usually works well in this installment. Bolded vocabulary words have their Chinese character equivalents next to them. If the word is in English, it also has the English transcription of the words in Chinese.

Each page has a little treasure hunt in a box in the corner. And fun facts are sprinkled throughout for the more advanced readers.

It's a cute introduction to China and the Chinese culture.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for supplying me with a requested review copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

I would like to thank Steven Wolfe Pereira & Susie Jaramillo, NetGalley, and Encantos for affording me the opportunity to review Tiny Travelers, Treasure Quest: China, Mexico, and Puerto Rico.

My son loved this book! The illustrations are very well done and my son loved finding things. I really liked how it taught him about the culture.

I received a complimentary review copy of #GoTinyTravelers China from #NetGalley

This book has excellent illustrations that accurately represent the diversity of the country. Each page spread depicts an aspect of the culture and has a couple of sentences describing it, as well as a "quest" to find an item specific to the country, and a "did you know" fact. Many aspects of the country are illustrated: arts and culture, food, historical/museums, leisure, etc. At the very end of the book, there is a spread with a world map so readers can see where the country is relative to others. This is a great book to educate children about other places, inspire interest in new topics, and to build empathy.

These books are seriously the cutest. With their colorful pictures and rhyming sentences, they’re a quick and easy read. They’re also educative and entertaining for both children and adults.

Fun and colorful educational book! A great book for early readers to learn about China. I wish there were more things to find in each picture and explanations about each "treasure" featured. All in all a really neat book!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley.

I think it's SO very important that children know about and understand other cultures, and this book series helps with that.
We loved this book, and we honestly cannot wait to purchase physical copies of the entire series!

Tiny Travelers China Treasure Quest by Steven Wolfe Pereira and Susie Jaramillo is another great addition to the Tiny Travelers series. They picked locations and activities that are interesting to both the child and the adult that may be reading the book to them, and they are accompanied by fun, colorful illustrations. The "find me" features on every page spread make sure the child can stay engaged in the reading through the entire book.

Leaves you eager to travel and curious to learn more!!

Note: this review applies to each and every book in this series that I have read - tiny travelers - China, Mexico, Puerto Rico

My Thoughts
First things first: the art is bright, colorful, delightful, eye-catching and the rhyming text is fun to read out loud! You will enjoy reading the words in other languages with the provided phonetics as well as looking for the hidden items and for those that are not.

As you go through the pages, the text and the detailed illustrations work together to teach the young armchair traveler very many things. These include words from the language, an introduction to interesting places in the country, traditions and events, wildlife, people, food, and more. It is truly amazing how much you can learn within the few pages of these board books, while maintaining cultural authenticity and accuracy.

I love that it includes things that most people first think of when they hear the name of the country (like the Great Wall of China or San Juan or the mariachis) and then the other equally wonderful things that make up that nation (like Wuling Mountains or Xochimilco or the Arecibo Planetary Radar). Curious now, aren’t you?:)

The Layout
The first page has the map of the featured country along with a useful fact card containing capital, language, currency, and population statistics. The ‘this-book-belongs-to’ is replaced with a ‘boarding pass’ where the tiny traveler (armchair one, in this case) can write his or her name. I am sure this format makes it exciting for kids – travel through the pages, earn those stamps on your book (and you can get free stickers for each book to stick on relevant pages), and complete your travel.

Each two-page spread has a similar layout with similar symbols across pages for ease of use. Each one includes
-the name of the specific place depicted on the page,
-the what-you-need-to-seek in a ‘stamp’ that you can put the free appropriate sticker on when found,
-a ‘Did you know’ fact box about something on the page,
labels to highlight items depicted (could be food, animals, places, etc) that inform the reader, and of course
-the detailed art work with the rhyming text taking center-stage, or well, spread across the two pages.

The last couple of pages include a checklist to see if the reader found everything and ends with the world map highlighting the featured country.

Conclusion
It is tough to represent a country within the confines of a children’s board book and there will always be lots of things that might be missing but this series does a great job of presenting it perfectly for the intended audience in a fun, interesting, and enriching way!

So, yes, these books are a wonderful addition to any library. So, if you have a child who enjoys learning about new places, or the search-and-find activities, or even if not, these books are going to be well-worth it.

They left me curious to learn more about everything mentioned, eager to travel and explore, and yes, hungry!

Disclaimer: Thank you to NetGalley for the digital review copies of the featured books. These thoughts are my honest opinions of each book

A 22 page board book for preschoolers and older. It is a bright, colorful book that serves as a good introduction to some important sights and Chinese traditions. Using the idea of a treasure hunt children look for Dragons kites on the page showing the Great Wall of China, red envelopes on the page that shows a family celebrating the Chinese New Year, a phoenix boat in the Dragon Boat festival, a red panda on the page with facts about pandas. There is also a colorful map that clearly shows where each of the main sights of significance are. At the end there is a key to verify where the treasures were found on each page.

What a delightful way to allow children to experience other countries and cultures. The pictures are bright and colorful. The text is simple and engaging and each page has a treasure to find. I would recommend this entire series! We will definitely read this over and over.

The publisher provided an ARC through Netgalley. I have voluntarily decided to read and review, giving my personal opinions and thoughts

This is the second book in the Treasure Quest series that I have read and reviewed. The illustrations are beautiful and colorful. The information included would be great for younger elementary age children whether with parents or in a classroom setting. I do hope to see the series expand because it seems like a great way to show kids about their heritage also. My only wish for this book is for them to include English phonetic spellings of the Chinese words in the book to help students learn how to speak a little Chinese. They did this with the Puerto Rico book, and I loved it!

This book is both an educational trip through China, whose new year - the Year of the Rat started the day this review was posted, so 新年快乐 (shin yin kwai luh - that's happy new year in Chinese)!

The book consists of about a dozen pages of brightly-drawn and nicely-illustrated images of various places and landmarks in China along with happy kids visiting them. Each has interesting facts, along with Chinese words, their English translations and pronunciation, and a hidden treasure to be found.

This book was a fun treasure hunt and an educational trip. I commend it.

China is part of the curriculum in my district, so I wondered if this book would be helpful with teaching it. It definitely is! It’s filled with interesting facts and information, plus it has trivia and things to look for for! This is a very engaging and informational book.

This is a great addition to the Tiny Travelers series of books for kids. Designed to introduce children to China and the Chinese culture, the book does a great job of grabbing their attention with the bright and colorful pictures. The addition of the Chinese spellings for selected words was a fun addition. As an adult, I learned quite a bit that I didn't know! I know that kids will love reading this book and learning more about China!

Thank you to Encantos Media Studios for giving an ARC of Tiny Travelers China Treasure Quest.

This book was educational and contained a lot of wonderful facts about China. It was interactive, with colorful illustrations that children would surely love. Would recommend to everyone!

Super fun and cute, especially loved the panda pages! Not a huge fan of all the rhyming in a kids nonfiction title but some kids will enjoy that a lot.

Earc from netgalley.

This had really cute illustrations, and it would be a great way to talk about the country of China with a small child.
