I leafed through the boy's books yesterday....
wished I had his books! He has a 美术 (art) book that is just so amazing to look at. It's has different themes in each chapter. One chapter examines how to use dots to compose pictures, giving various examples like 'a pot of flowering plants' and 'tadpoles looking for their mother' . Another uses different mediums to create 'rain'. Yet another 'fireworks', or some chapters teaches the use of collage & paper cutting to create different effects.
His math books looks interesting too! For example, the concept of more or less is tested by asking the child to identify which length of rope is longer or shorter, giving them a visual of a rope with similar number of coils around poles of different thickness.
His English books are not too far behind. It's a series of 6 books. I noticed some of the popular children stories are incorporated into the lessons as well, like the "Little Red Hen". Each chapter has a list of new words and questions to think about and activities to complete.
I shan't comment on his Chinese text books... can't read them!!!
