“In short, I would say it’s peerless….Of course, it is possible to just buy the books, or just use the app. However, the whole Club package, including the livestreams is what makes it so compelling. It’s incomparable to any app.” Read the whole review
How Dim Sum Warriors Works1
“Learning is most successful when it involves only a limited amount of stress, when students are relaxed and confident and enjoying their learning; but the use of correction encourages exactly the opposite condition.”
– Professor John Truscott, Institute of Learning Science and Technology, National Tsing Hua University

What are people saying?
“我七岁的女儿不停的重读《小小点心侠》的故事书。她觉得内容很滑稽，每次阅读时都哈哈大笑！”
“My 7-year-old daughter keeps re-reading the Little Dim Sum Warriors books. She thinks they’re really funny, and she laughs every time she reads them.”
“Joshua is so into 成语 time! What got him hooked was when Colin drew the snake with legs for 画蛇添足。it is so cute to see him running around the living room shouting, “It is 成语 time!”
“My daughter looks forward to every single Jam session because she gets to learn things like how to draw different kinds of trees and what their names are called in Chinese. She uses the App to read the books in Chinese and English. I believe kids learn best when they are enjoying it and it’s definitely the case with the Dim Sum Warriors sessions each week.”
“Both of us really have a very good bonding time together when we began with reading the Dim Sum Warrior books as bed time stories, playing the app together, occupying her with the ‘live’ drawalong session & then doing the quiz together… We have so many topics in common!
“We have been fans of the Dim Sum Warriors books for some time! We spent a fun and creative morning at the online Jam drawing different emotions and learning the words for them. The kids were crazy over the final minutes when they could request whatever they wanted drawn.”
Every Dim Sum Warriors story is supported by Discussion Questions to Deepen Your Child’s Learning!
Here’s a sample set of discussion questions for our first book, Papa, I’m still not sleepy! 爸爸，我还不想睡！
Upon finishing a story or book with kids, literacy experts recommend using questions for discussion to stimulate their critical thinking.
These questions are designed to assist children in making:
- Personal connections: Can you relate this story to an experience you’ve had?
- Inter-textual connections: Can you draw parallels between this story and another one you’ve read?
- Real-world connections: Does this story resemble an event or situation in the real world?
For all the Dim Sum Warriors stores available on the App, our team of expert educators has crafted both Mandarin and English questions.
This ensures that PLUS and CLUB members can use them to initiate meaningful conversations with their children without having to think too hard.
