The animated TV series of "Journey to the West" features White Dragon Horse carrying Tang Sanzang and his three disciples, marching towards the west to obtain the Buddhist scriptures. It has brought joy to several generations of children. Little did Wu Cheng'en, the author of one of China's four great classical novels, "Journey to the West," know that his masterpiece would be translated into dozens of languages, including English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Russian, Czech, Polish, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese, and be loved by people across the world. Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang, Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing, and even the three-time beaten White-bone Demon, could never have imagined that they would not only root deeply in the hearts of every Chinese person but also become famous in every corner of the world. And now, the "Monkey King" series of large-sized color drawing books, published by Zhejiang Juvenile and Children's Publishing House, is presented in English to children.
The whole series consists of 32 volumes, starting from "Birth of the Monkey King" to "Recovering the Scriptures," including well-known stories such as "Havoc in Heaven," "Sun Wukong's Reform," "Zhu Bajie's Marriage," "Capturing the Red Child," "True and False Monkey King," "Bajie's Three Way with the Fan," and "Defeating the False Western Heaven." These stories cover all major events in the 81 challenges. For me, with only a little knowledge of English, reading the book can be a bit challenging, but the book's layout is thoughtful. Each book has its own QR code on the opening page, making it convenient to scan and listen to the story.
The illustrations in the book are vivid and lifelike. Children who have watched the "Journey to the West" animated series will have a strong sense of identity. The book has been translated into multiple languages and distributed worldwide, representing the level of contemporary Chinese children's art creation and deeply loved by readers at home and abroad. Even without reading, one can be deeply attracted by the realistic and beautiful color illustrations.
Reading this book allows children to revisit the classics while learning related English vocabulary, enriching their English knowledge reserve. It would be even better if foreign children read it with us, with them responsible for English translation and us for story narration. Let Chinese stories enter the world and make children's world even more colorful with fairy tales. Mothers, reading it as a bedtime story to your children would also be a good choice. After reading the whole series, children will surely fall in love with the Monkey King and his friends even more.
