"It's a very naive tale written mostly for kids. The educational aspect is unavoidable because this type of project is the first of its kind and most people don't know these stories, but they're meant for kids' enjoyment. The hope is that these stories or stories like them can become part of Taiwanese children's upbringing," said Moro (莫侯), the album's illustrator.
Students of Mandarin will find an unintended use for the album with the abbreviated versions of the stories on the illustrated pages and the read-along, full-length story at the back.
The album's biggest flaw, though, aside from the fact that the track numeration on the back cover doesn't match the actual tracks on the second CD, is that the text does not follow the narration character by character, but instead skips certain passages.
