Hu Is a Tiger:
An Introduction to Chinese Writing
Scholastic, 1996
Peggy Goldstein is author of the similar book, Lóng Is a Dragon, which teaches the basics of Chinese language and writing to novices. Hu Is a Tiger uses the same engaging strategies for picturing, remembering, and reproducing characters and portions of character that may be combined to form new words. In this book, Goldstein includes numbers, zodiac animals, auspicious words, and a carefully selected range of vocabulary for forming sentences. She concludes with an important idea: 人人明白仁 rénrén míngbái rén. Everyone understands benevolence.
