Counting is one of the most joyful early skills, and Chinese numbers are wonderfully logical once you learn one to ten. This free book takes your child from 一 (one) all the way to 二十 (twenty), with each number shown as a clear numeral, its Chinese character, pinyin, English, and tap-to-hear audio.

Mandarin numbers build on a simple pattern: eleven is literally 十一 (ten-one) and twenty is 二十 (two-ten). Once children hear the rhythm, the teens and twenties click into place. Tap each number to hear it spoken, count along on fingers, and switch between Mandarin and English audio as you go.

Perfect for toddlers and preschoolers, this counting book needs no sign-up and works on any device. Pair it with our free colours and animals books for more everyday vocabulary, or create a personalized Chinese storybook starring your own child.
