I am a big fan of reading as a way both for learning, teaching, and working with your young child. Even for a child who does not how to read yet, I believe its helpful to read to them. They can see the pictures and its a great way to interact with your child. My favorite is My First Chinese Words that comes with 36 books and a CD.

The book are nice and simple, which is great for short attention spans. At the kindergarten age, you don't want anything too long.
