这书比上书更好。更有意思和我学习过许多新汉字了。

These books are always beneficial to improving my reading skills. I can't wait to be able to read proper, full length books in Chinese, and these graded readers will definitely help me get there.

I've noticed these books aren't witjout their faults though, but I can easily overlook it.

On the very first line there appears to be a mistake.
The Chinese says that Guo Guo is in first year of middle school, whereas the English translation says he's in seventh grade.
It's no wonder I struggled to translate this one when the translation says something completely different.

The English translations also have bad grammar at time so take it with a grain of salt. Eg. His Chinese teacher is a Chinese living in Beijing.

My first ever book in Mandarin! It was simplistic and repetitive but this was actually really useful. It also introduced some new words and easy grammar in an accessible way. Feeling super proud of myself for being able to read this!
