Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
With charming characters and fun activities, this site provides kids with a nice introduction to Chinese culture and customs. There are some super-simple games for little kids, such as Counting Koi, while puzzle games like Tangrams will challenge older kids -- and possibly their parents! There's no age guide to the games, so there may be a bit of trial and error involved in finding the right fit. Nevertheless, the games are nicely animated and do a good job teaching a range of skills.

its cool.If i were you i would go buy a sagwa movie

 
An early education favorite.
Sagwa remains one of the sweetest animated shows for young children I have seen. Sagwa is one of a family of cats & kittens who are blessed with the unique talent of writing with their tails, and are scribes for a governing family in ancient China. The kittens get into all sorts of situations and learn life lessons through their daily adventures. The animation, cultural exposure, and lessons in morals are all stand outs.
