This is a great early-grades introduction to Chinese New Year celebrations and traditions. I'm not sure if I'll use this one for a lesson this year but I will be using the "copy and color" page in the back.
This book was great to share the traditions of the lunar New year with my preschool students. They loved the colors and learning about this traditional holiday.
