This book is a good primer for introducing the holiday of Chinese New Year to young children. It's short enough to hold the attention of very young listeners and told in clear, simple language that is easy enough for beginning readers to do well with on their own. Each spread has two or three short sentences describing something factual about Chinese New Year with an accompanying photograph illustrating that tidbit. The book ends with a glossary and some book and Internet resources for children who want to learn more about the holiday. ( )
