小狐狸的故事 Little Fox Chinese bridge books

Title: 小狐狸的故事 Little Fox Stories

Author: 森山京 Miyako Moriyama

Where to buy:

• Simplified Chinese
  • Chinese Books for Children (USA)
• Traditional Chinese with Zhuyin
  • Books.com.tw

These endearing, anthropomorphic stories are about a little fox who learns to be brave and connect with his animal friends.

The font is large with a range of a couple sentences to full page of text. Supporting illustrations alternate from colored to black-and-white and are occasionally full pages.

The traditional Chinese books are accompanied by Zhuyin, but the simplified Chinese version has no Pinyin.

Each book is about 75 pages long.

Reading level

As for reading level, this is a great series to read after knowing about 800-1000 Chinese characters, such as after completing 四五快读 (Si Wu Kuai Du) or Odonata leveled readers.

My 6-year-old daughter felt that the 小狐狸的故事 Little Fox Stories were easy and she finished all 5 books in a few hours, split between 2 days.

Despite the books being below her reading level, she loved the stories and illustrations and was very motivated to read each book on her own.

In each book, she forgot about 1-2 Chinese characters which didn’t affect her understanding of the content. She felt that the reading level is slightly easier than Frog and Toad 青蛙和蟾蜍 Chinese bridge books which she read last year.
