Vietnam Now! A Vietnamese Language Reader
Parallel Vietnamese-English reader with graded newspaper texts, a short story, poems, notes, exercises, photos, and online audio.
This is a bilingual Vietnamese-English board book for very young children, especially families who want an easy first exposure to Vietnamese. It focuses on counting from 1 to 10 and pairs each number with well-known places in Vietnam, so it works as both a first numbers book and a simple cultural introduction.
The official product page lists it as a 24-page board book by embebooks, sized 7 x 7 inches, with landmarks such as the Dragon Bridge in Đà Nẵng and the Imperial City in Huế. Each spread includes small interactive prompts, which makes it more engaging than a plain counting book. You can find it on the publisher site.
What it does well is keep things simple. If you want a gentle book to read aloud with a child, it gives you basic number vocabulary, familiar English support, and a clear visual theme tied to Vietnam. It is beginner-friendly and does not expect any prior Vietnamese.
Its limits are also pretty clear. This is not a full language-learning book for older kids or adults, and it will not teach much beyond early counting words and a small set of related vocabulary. There is also very little independent review coverage, so most of what you can verify comes from the publisher and a few retail listings.
