I enjoyed this book and so did my nephews. I loved the poetry and the illustrations. This would be a great addition to a Pre K-K class in Jan and February. I also love that you can see the context written in Chinese, This is a good book for diversity. It was hard to read as a digital book, but would be great in hardcover or paperback.

This is a very odd book, that looks like it was trying to be all things to all people. It appears to take place in a Chinese area, perhaps even China, yet, there are all sorts of ethnicities present. It also seems to be a village.
Each page has a word in English that is highlighted, and in the illsutration on the page, the corresponding Chinese character is drawn.
But there is nowhere in the book explaining that, or giving any background on the calligraphy of the first place
The story is in rhymes, which is never my favorite, and it shows all the things you might find by going to a Chinese new year celebration

I read this to some of our smaller cub scouts ages 5-8 along with their younger siblings and they all loved it! I exaggerated some of the words with my voice and everyone was wanting more! It was so fun and the story was really cute!
