as few words as possible to encourage multiple readings, as it is through
multiple readings that a child’s linguistic competence is developed as the
brain scaffolds information from a previous reading onto the following
reading. Published by Sun-ya Press in Hong Kong, these books are a wonderful
example of international collaboration between two Asia-based writers and their
South African illustrator</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This story is about the power of a young child's imagination to create a world that is both safe and exciting. Written as both a counting book and a classic bedtime story, in it the young child leads her elder sister on an adventure that ends in the sweet realm of dreamland.<br /><br />This book was written in short simple sentences so that it could be read aloud over and over again. Reading the same text aloud repeatedly helps a child implicitly become familiar with a language's structure. In addition, the warmth and safety that comes from reading and re-reading a story strengthens the caring bond between the person reading aloud and the child being read to. Both the English and Chinese versions introduce the most basic sentence patterns and also allow the child to practice counting from 1 to 10. The Chinese version also introduces the use of classifiers.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The story in this book was written to engage all the senses: sight, sound, touch, smell, and taste. It was also written to capture the joy human beings feel when they spend time in fresh air and sunshine, admiring the animals and insects that share the world with us. Lastly, this book celebrates the love shared between a father and his child. <br /><br />Written in short simple sentences, this book is meant to be read aloud over and over again. Reading the same text aloud repeatedly helps a child implicitly become familiar with a language's structure, and at the same time it strengthens the caring bond between the person reading aloud and the child. The sentence pattern is expanded compared to the minimal sentences in Numbers Do. The verbs used in this book often have both subject and object. Readers may also notice the difference between Chinese and English, where subjects can often be omitted in Chinese.</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; text-align: center;"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="MsoNormalTable" style="mso-cellspacing: 0cm; mso-padding-alt: 3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt 3.75pt; mso-yfti-tbllook: 1184; width: 100%px;"><tbody><tr align="center"><td style="padding: 3.75pt; width: 100%;" valign="top" width="100%"></td><td style="padding: 3.75pt; width: 100%;" valign="top" width="100%"><br /></td><td style="padding: 3.75pt; width: 100%;" valign="top" width="100%"><br /></td></tr><tr style="mso-yfti-irow: 1; mso-yfti-lastrow: yes;"><td style="padding: 3.75pt; width: 100%;" valign="top" width="100%"><br /></td>

Wordnet, and Chinese WordSketch. His linguistic research focus shifted
from earlier work on GPSG and LFG to recent emphasis on lexical
semantics, which led to the development of the MARVS theory. Both lines
of research lead to his current work on Chinese WordNet and ontology.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Chu-Ren
Huang is the President of Linguistic Society of Taiwan, permanent

Chinese Language Processing, and Taiwan Journal in Linguistics.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">On
top of his over 300 journal and conference papers, he is currently
co-editing a Cambridge University Press book entitled Ontologies and the
Lexicon, and a LRE special issue on Asian Language Technology. In
additional the on-line versions of the language resources mentioned
above, he also directed two linguistic digital archives sites for
general users: SouWenJieZi and WenGuo. He was the chief editor of a
national standard of Segmentation Principles for Chinese Information
Processing (CNS14366).</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>Marjorie van
Heerden</b> grew up on a farm in the Hex River Valley in South Africa. From an
early age she loved drawing animals and fairies and people and dinosaurs and
children and dragons and monsters and today they appear in all shapes and sizes
in the more than 120 books that feature her work. Since the publication of her
first children’s picture book in 1983 Marjorie has been published as illustrator or illustrator/author in 35
languages in Africa, England, Europe, Canada and the USA. Recently she has also
illustrated Andre P. Brink's Afrikaans translation of Lewis Carroll’s classic <b><i>Alice’s
Adventures in Wonderland.</i></b> </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Although she and her husband have travelled far and wide
and lived for extended periods in the USA and Europe, they always returned to
South Africa and now live in Gordon’s Bay, a coastal village near Cape Town.
Her studio is in the loft of their house, with windows overlooking False Bay and she can look
at an ocean full of monsters and all kinds of thingies while she writes and illustrates her
children's books. They have two children (a daughter and son) and three
granddaughters.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Amongst
the awards she has won for her books, Marjorie has been awarded the
prestigious M.E.R Award for best South African illustrated children’s
book twice; in
2008 Marjorie, with children’s book author, Wendy Hartmann, won it
for <b><i>Nina and Little Duck</i></b> published by
Human & Rousseau (SA) in 2007 (also available in Afrikaans) and in 2012
Marjorie and author, Alex D’Angelo, won the M.E.R Award for <b><i>Goblin Diaries</i></b>,
published by Tafelberg Publishers (SA) in 2011. In 2011 Marjorie won the W.B.
Mkhize Award, given by the Usiba Writers’ Guild for <b><i>Uhambo LukaLulama Olude</i></b>, the Zulu version of <b><i>Lulama’s long way home</i></b>,
which she wrote and illustrated (2007, Giraffe Books, an imprint of Pan
MacMillan). </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Marjorie
tirelessly works for the development of South African children’s book
writers and illustrators and in 2003 she started the South African
chapter of the international <i>Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators</i>
(SCBWI) based in Los Angeles and active in more than 40 countries
around the globe. She is currently the co-regional advisor of the SA
chapter. (She also started the SCBWI chapter in Greece in 2000).<i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #222222;"> </span></i></span></span><br />
