Ellie’s Secret Diary
Bilingual English Vietnamese children's book about school bullying, told as a diary story with support notes that help young readers discuss feelings. ISBN-13 9781844442669.
Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival is a bilingual English Vietnamese children's board book by Jessie Duong, published by embebooks. It is made for young kids and families who want a simple way to explore Tết Trung Thu while picking up basic Vietnamese words and phrases. If you are a beginner or reading with a child, it is easy to follow.
The book uses zodiac animals to guide readers through Mid-Autumn Festival traditions. The official description mentions lantern making, the Moon Goddess Chị Hằng Nga, lion dance, Ông Địa, and stories about who lives on the moon. That makes it more than a basic vocabulary book. You also get a light introduction to cultural meaning, which is helpful if you want your child to connect language with Vietnamese traditions.
What it does well is keep the language short and approachable. As a board book, it suits read aloud time and repeat reading, and the bilingual format can help families use both languages together at home or in class. It also fits well if you want culture based reading instead of drills.
The limitation is scope. This is a short children's book, not a structured learning program, so you should not expect much grammar, deeper reading practice, or support for older learners. I also could not find meaningful user reviews, so most of the available information comes from the publisher.
