Longer than others I've read, my favorite so far

Seems to be longer than others level one books I've read, which is a good thing as long as it isn't repetitive or dull, which it isn't. Very enjoyable story. An audio recording of it is available through Audible.

great to listen and learn

love it. good for beginners and sharing with children. give it a try and you won't be sorry

Good listening for HSK 2 practice

Good story for practicing HSK 2 listening skills. The story is a fun pre-modern Chinese version of the original text. The narrator is also slower than typical Chinese readers, which I found helpful.

Good for learners if you have reached HSK4

Really good if you have learned a vocabulary for HSK 4 they you may understand everything without a difficulty
