How to Catch a Dragon by Adam Wallace

4.0

I purchased this book to help teach my children about Lunar New Year. I am a teacher at a school that houses international students from China and every year I celebrate Spring Festival with them. I like the How to Catch books because they are fun to read and rhyme nicely. I did not feel like this book taught a lot about Spring Festival. It mentions different aspects of the celebration, like red envelopes, but not what they are actually used for. For example, they use a red envelope to try to catch the dragon as opposed to giving it to children. It is cute though and fun to read if you are spending time discussing the actual events and traditions of Spring Festival.
