I'm still compiling the booklist. I would post it here tonight. You may wait for my booklist for reference before placing your at dangdang or order China bookstores.
On the other hand, the new stock of 親親自然 A-D already arrived at CWB 大陸. They called me to collect the books.
Last two week, I bought "We Sing We learn (1-3)" $17/each at 國風. The songs are very nice. I highly recommend it. My son has to listen the CD every day. Inside the book, there has many exercise regarding the song. The exercises are drawing, counting, colouring etc. It is suitable for 3 years old. The songs are Head, shoulder...., Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star...., Pussycat, Eensy Weensy Spider. I find 國風 still have some stock today and also have Pingu (1) & (2). My son love Pingu but I haven't bought.
Any mom bought Pingu before? Can you share your experience?
Those "We Sing We Learn" & Pingu also can be found at dangdang.com.

P.S. For the first step to reading, the book's pictures are nice. But the tape is only reading and sometimes the reading is not in correct sequence. There is no signal to remind the listener to turn the page. My maid said my son can't follow the speaker and only read few pages and then leave it to the table.
