My First Chinese New Year (My First Holiday) Paperback – Picture Book, December 11, 2012

I bought this book as part of a presentation for my son’s preschool class (3-4 year olds) and it was perfect! The pictures are colorful and beautiful and the text is short, easy to understand and age appropriate. The children were completely engaged and were thrilled with the dragon at the end. I love that the book depicts the exact traditions we do for New Years and shows the importance of family! To complete the presentation we brought the children bags of mandarin oranges to share and each child received a red envelope with a Chinese coin inside (also purchased through Amazon). The teacher asked to borrow the book so that the children could reread it throughout the week. In summation, this book is short, sweet and to the point. Filled with wonderful illustrations, it is perfect for ages 2-5.

This book is perfect for my 3 and 5 year old kids who are only half Chinese, and I'm American born, so we're a little bit diluted here, and this was a great book for explaining some of the most common traditions.

Reading this book right now to my 3.5 year olds in preparation for CNY in a couple weeks. Last year they were too young to understand but this year they are catching onto the idea and concepts of the holiday and this book is a great help. The illustrations are adorable and colorful to capture their attention and the story is clear and easy for them to understand.

Super cute! I love the illustrations and my kids loved listening to it.

they love it this book

I love this book so much. I wish it were a series! (Someone tell me it's a series?)

Perfec tfor introducing little ones to the holiday - gave it to several friends. Probably best for one and up, but the younger babies love the color.

Just a lovely intro to Chinese New Year for kids of all ages. The illustrations and characters convey the nature of CNY to young readers. Cute and worth every penny!

I bought this book to teach Early Years about Chinese New Year. It was well received by the children and taught them about preparing for the lunar new year. Beautiful condition and a lovely story, very entertaining. :)
