Review "Instructor Mei Mei Hu takes youngsters on a sparkling tour of a Chinese school. With sprightly musical interludes backing footage of girls and boys arriving at school, eating breakfast, exercising, dancing, napping, and much more. This sampled program from a five-part Play and Learn Chinese series, not only offers a lovely taste of a school day in China but also introduces Mandarin." --- --Booklist (American Library Association) About the Director The Journey to Play and Learn Chinese with Mei Mei Mei Mei Hu is an educator and the creator of the Play & Learn Chinese series, which includes a language CD and Chinese writing for young children (set of 2 writing books), the popular Dance & Learn with Mei Mei and the newly-released video Let's Go to School with Mei Mei.

In 1986 she received her master's degree in Education and began work as a Montessori teacher, guiding young children in their earliest lessons. It was her fifteen years of experience at the Montessori school that kindled her passion for teaching younger children, and the place where her Chinese program was born and refined. In the meantime Mei Mei had also been teaching Chinese language at Rhode Island College, which eventually led her to teaching positions at Providence College and, more recently, at Brown University. Mei Mei Hu now resides in Rhode Island with her husband and daughter. She continues working on her production of educational videos and teaching Chinese.
