Bringing In the New Year (Read to a Child!) Paperback – Picture Book, December 14, 2010

I love reading this book to my PreK, Kindergarten and 1st grade students. The illustrations are colorful and clean and there is just one sentence per page so it's nice and simple to introduce the culture and vocabulary!

MAY 2013: This is a great book. So simple. I've read this at play groups for 1.5-2year olds & they loved it. But it still captures the attention of older kids. Well written, bright colors. I love this book.MAY 2014: i have yet to meet a child that doesn't love this book. I have read it at Lunar New Year themed playgroups with children up to 9 years old. Every single child loves it and learns the basics of lunar new year from this book.It's a perfect introduction to chinese new year. the fold out dragon is the favorite of course!We always read it at least twice in a row.the second time we have children volunteer to do each activity (i.e. one sweeps out the new year, etc)

I love this book and my toddler enjoys all the wonderful illustrations, our favorite part is the explanation to some of the culture items used and how they prepare one for the luna new year.

Sweet and informative story. My 3 and 5 year old love it and want to celebrate the Lunar New Year 🌟

It’s Informative and colorful. It’s not that interesting of a read but I appreciate the accuracy of the traditions and explanations.

It's an easy-to-read book for toddlers at preschool age. The context is easy to understand, and the illustration is beautiful. Highly recommend!

This was a cute book to explain little bits about Chinese new year. My son and I enjoyed reading it and learning. Very simple and cute pictures.

Love Grace Lin’s delightful illustrations and storytelling. I bought this one about Chinese New Year for my toddler after reading and re-reading “Dim Sim For Everyone,” also by Grace.This story has more text than Dim Sum for Everyone and is probably more age-appropriate for kids 3-6 than my toddler. She’ll grow into it though, so we’re gonna hold onto it. In any case, I got to learn more about my own Chinese culture, and I’m in my thirties!
