Customer comments on this selection.
 Not for children younger than 2
The flaps are very thin and small, and are easily torn off by children younger than 2. A great book for learning about the Chinese New year, geared to an older toddler. I'd recommend ages 2 1/2 up.
 covers chinese new year in a simple and clear way
My preschoolers enjoyed reading and flipping threw the tabs in this book. The pictures were stereotypical ancient China but it was colorful and vibrant. The story covers what happens in and around Chinese New Year, and the message was clear and simple.
 A beautiful and fun way to learn about Chinese New Year
I love the illustrations and narrative of this book. It's a rare find amongst a sea of books attempting, but failing, to capture the spirit of this special, cultural event. Most books on the subject are patronizing, offensive, or downright inaccurate. This one is not. I like details, such as the photo of the ancestors on the table with the fruit and flowers--a tasteful way to display Chinese ancestral worship, not just during the new year celebrations. I like the Chinese astrology wheel at the back of the book and the 'make your own dragon puppet' how-to instructions. Those extra touches were a special bonus.
Nice Story about Chinese New Year
Read this story to my 2 year old twins this year, we are trying to learn about other cultures holidays, and they liked the story a great deal. We are not very familiar with Chinese culture so I am not sure how accurate it is but my kids loved the story. The pictures were colorful and clear, and information on the traditions was easy to understand. The kids were able to take what they saw in the book and use it in real life, we saw a Chinese dragon in a Thomas the Tank Engine video and they said "Chinese New Year".
Great for Young Kids
My daughter is 2.5 years and loves this book. The text is simple, with flaps, and covers the very basic ideas behind CNY.
