"One word for the Curio Simplified Chinese Box — engaging!"

The books all tell meaningful stories with “key takeaways”. Easily spend half an hour on these everyday. Love the pinyin and characters on the cards too. Can’t wait to get more. Love the box for my kiddos ❤️

Curio FAQ's

Where are the books from?

Our books are sourced from the country they are published in.

Our Spanish books are sourced from Spain and different Spanish speaking countries in Latin America.

Our Simplified Chinese books are sourced from 45 different publishers in China.

Our Traditional Chinese books are sourced from publishers in Taiwan and Hong Kong.

All books are original and copywrited.

Do you plan to have more languages?

Yes. We are working on adding new languages. Send your language request to hello@becurio.co.

Are these books bilingual in English or in the language itself?

Our books are mainly sourced from countries where the language is spoken as the native tongue. Therefore they are mainly in the language itself. Occasionally we come across excellent bilingual books which we do include into our curation.

What if I already have one of the books I received?

Send an email to hello@becurio.co with a picture of both books and we will gladly work with you on a refund.
