LOVE it!

Our 4-year-old daughter LOVES the lift-the-flap pages of this book - - and already "reads" along with us!

A great non-fiction introduction for preschoolers

This is a nonfiction book aimed at the preK-K level, and it contains just the right amount of information for kids aged 3-5. The illustrations are lovely and there is simple text on each page. I paired this book along with Dragon Dance (author: Holub) and D is for Dragon Dance (author: Compestine), which have more lyrical text, for a preschoolers' storytime about Chinese New Year.

Simple, Pleasant Introduction to Chinese New Year!

I really like this series. Students can read these books on their own and get a lot out of them. They can also be easily read for a read aloud. They are fun and interesting!
