It doesn’t get any easier, this not being able to read Chinese thing …
Trying to order some books for Xmas for my 5 year old on the GoMy website, using Chrome browser:

For the book on the third line, right hand column, I get “Filial Piety … Polyester Female Urinal” Would make a great album title for a band like the Butthole Surfers. Needless to say, I am not ordering this one- filial piety is nonsense, after all.
May I make a book suggestion? This one by Jackie Morris: Tell Me a Dragon. It’s bilingual, the original being in native speaker English, comes with a CD.
From Morris’ site:
The idea for Tell Me a Dragon came whilst working on the Terry Pratchett Disc World Calendar. In Guards Guards there is a place where dragons sleep and wait to be summoned. They are created by the imagination of those who summon them, and when I was working in schools I began to ask children, if they had a dragon, what would it look like? Some answers were very simple, but some lit the children’s imagination until the air echoed with the sound of dragon wings. One day someone asked me, if I had a dragon, what would it be like. I realized that almost every day it would be different. Some days I would like a big dragon to fight battles for me, sometimes a small dragon to curl around my ear and tell me stories. Each day a different dragon, but each one mine. And so I wrote Tell Me a Dragon
