Chinese New Year 7 Feb 2004
By A Customer
Format:Hardcover
I bought this book to help explain Chinese New Year to my class of 30 5 year olds. The vibrant and simple illustrations were a big hit and the simplicity of the text made the subject much more accessible for them. I would thoroughly recommend this book to other teaching colleagues or to parents who would like to give their children an introduction to the celebration of Chinese New Year. A definite thumbs up from me!!

fantastic book! 6 April 2010
By Miss B
Format:Paperback
I bought this book for use in a reception class. The book has been very useful to pass on information about Chinese New Year in an interesting and child friendly way. There are lovely images that accompany the book and the text is not overwhelming. i would highly reccomend this book and i will definately be buying future publications in the series.
