With the help of his older brother, Xiao Ming employs his skills of wit and deduction to unveil the truth hidden behind every mystery.

The stories are simple and easy to follow, with a lot of repeated structure to make sure you really understand what is going on, which is helpful when you’re learning.
The speaker is clear and at a comfortable pace for this level. My only minor complaint is that they pronounce 谁 as shuí instead of shéi, which is less common to my understanding.
Great Introductory Learning Book
