Taro Gomi “Be Careful!” Chinese-English Bilingual Picture Book Set｜3-Book Set with QR Code Audio

Overview

A heartwarming three-book bilingual picture book collection by internationally acclaimed author and illustrator Taro Gomi, following three little vehicles as they bravely set out on their own adventures.

In Be Careful, Little Truck!, a determined little truck keeps moving forward while a big truck quietly watches over and encourages it along the way. Be Careful, Little Plane! follows a little plane taking its first solo flight, bumping into obstacles but never giving up. In Be Careful, Little Boat!, a small boat ventures out from the harbor, learning how to navigate waves, changing weather, uncertainty, and even loneliness.

With simple illustrations, rhythmic language, and the repeated phrase “Be careful!”, these stories beautifully capture the balance between protecting children and learning to let them explore independently. Through the journeys of the little truck, plane, and boat, children see courage, perseverance, and growing independence, while parents may recognize the love, trust, and gentle concern that comes with watching a child grow.

Each book presents Chinese and English side by side and includes QR Code access to professionally recorded audio in both languages. Children can listen, follow along, imitate pronunciation and rhythm, and gradually build confidence using familiar sentence patterns in both Chinese and English.

Why We Love It:
We love how Taro Gomi turns three simple vehicle adventures into meaningful stories about growing up. Children enjoy the repetition and playful journeys, while parents will recognize the familiar feeling of wanting to protect their child while also learning when to step back and trust them. The bilingual text and audio make it especially easy to turn storytime into natural language learning.
