Vietnam Now! A Vietnamese Language Reader
Parallel Vietnamese-English reader with graded newspaper texts, a short story, poems, notes, exercises, photos, and online audio.
This is a bilingual English-Vietnamese picture book version of The Little Red Hen, published by Mantra Lingua. It is aimed at young children and families, but it can also work for beginner learners who want very simple reading practice with familiar story structure and clear visual support.
You get the story in both languages on the page, which makes it useful for reading side by side and picking up everyday words through context. The book retells the classic tale about work, sharing, and helping others, so it is easy to follow even if your Vietnamese is very limited. Mantra Lingua lists it for ages 4 to 8, and the format fits read-aloud use at home or in class.
Where it works best is vocabulary building and beginner reading, not deep language study. You are not getting lessons, exercises, or grammar teaching, so older learners may use it more as a light reader than a main resource. If you want a simple bilingual storybook to read with a child or to ease into Vietnamese with very short text, it is a practical choice. You can find the book on Mantra Lingua.
