    Was strolling through the neighborhood looking for a few Chinese books for my 2.5 year old toddler. Came upon this book which has a picture of a plane on the front page and says it's for 1-3 year olds. Just take a look at the first 4 pages. keep in mind that the target audience for this is a 2 or 3 year old smh

    I think you were in the Triad section of the neighborhood. In that case those books really do help

    Personally I though the ear mufflers for the sniper rifle was a really nice touch

    Someone needs to buy you a journal so you can jot down these daily insights of yours.

    It's in Brooklyn. I think it was a Chinese Dollar store. Not 100% sure tbh.

    Is there really much wrong with that? Many boys are infatuated with guns when they are young, I know I was when I was a little boy.

    Some boys have fascinations with cars, some with planes, etc. Does knowing what a sniper rifle is in Chinese really going to make a kid a killer when he grows up?

    The thing is the Chinese don't have a gun culture like us, to them this is the same thing as little kids reading books about tanks and planes.

    and you are expecting sympathy on an american Forum (from a basketbal team in Texas):grin:

    That being said I really do not understand why someone would put that in a childrensbook.

    As Child_Plz has stated, guns are almost impossible to get hold of in China.

    Try being a white guy with knowledge of 500 years of western imperialistic genocide of countless native people. Good feelings.
