A charming counting book focused on the Vietnamese New Year celebration, Tet. Colorful embroidered illustrations of mice preparing for the celebration fit in very nicely with our preschool's PYP Unit of Inquiry on celebrations and preparations for those celebrations. My students enjoyed this book and it inspired a great deal of conversation.
Interesting book that introduces the Vietnamese holiday of Tet. Colorful illustrations starring mice, this book has both a cultural and an educational (counting) message. At the end there's even more information for parents about the holiday and the language.
A village of mice prepares for Tet, or Vietnamese New Year, as different numbers of mice give gifts, cook food, and celebrate in other traditional ways. Includes an afterword with facts about the holiday. www.hcpl.net
Cute story describing the four day celebration of the Vietnamese New Year. Great way of sharing another culture and how some of the traditions originated.
