The book, Monkey King 3, is the story of Sun Wukong (孙悟空), a mythical character from the Chinese classic novel Journey to the West (西游记). The book includes both the Chinese text (simplified characters) and pinyin in the story form. The "Monkey King" series books narrate early adventures of the ape king Sun Wukong who later accompanied Tang Sanzang (唐三藏) to fetch the Buddhist scripture from India (西天). The current volume, a sequel to the Monkey King 2, is the fifth book in the Mandarin Chinese Reading series. Each of the "Monkey King" volumes, made of about 600 characters, would be suitable for the lower intermediate to advanced level Chinese language learners (HSK 1-6). Overall, the initial volumes in the "Monkey King" series books are the elementary level books (Level 1) to practice Mandarin Chinese reading fast.
