Summary: It is ok
Review: We like it however it was a bit too fast for us. A lot packed in one book. We are absolute beginners so Wendy Lin's books was a bit more realistic for us. It may be more helpful for those who already speak Chinese at home with their parents and their parents can help them. Otherwise it was a bit over our heads.
The books are in color. The tapes are all in Chinese except for some instructions. So you basically have to have the book in front of you to practice and learn.
I like the sentences and phrases. They are all relevant to most children. THe tone exercises are helpful to learn pinyin.
Basic listen and copy.
Somehow I have missplaced the first book and now need to purchase that one separately which I don't think you can.
Nice if they had a workbook or teacher's manual with it.
