Help your child learn common vegetables in Mandarin with this free Chinese word book for kids. Each page pairs a friendly illustration with the Chinese characters, pinyin, English meaning, and tap-to-hear Mandarin audio — so even parents who are still learning can read along with confidence.
Vegetables are a wonderful first topic because they show up at every meal. When your toddler points at dinner and you can name the 胡萝卜 (carrot) or 番茄 (tomato) together, the words stick. Tap any picture to hear it spoken slowly by a clear voice, switch the audio between Mandarin and English, and toggle pinyin on or off as your child grows more confident.
This book is made for toddlers, preschoolers, and bilingual families learning Chinese at home. There is no sign-up and nothing to install — just open it and start reading together. When you are ready for more, you can create a personalized storybook starring your own child, or explore our other free word books for fruits, animals, and everyday objects.
