Dragon Surprise,
By Reflection Haiku "Lily Wang, Author" (California, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Dragon Dance: A Chinese New Year LTF: A Chinese New Year Lift-the-Flap Book (Mass Market Paperback)
Little kids love dragon dance and this is what's highlighted in the Chinese New Year Celebration as well as the featured fun of this young reader-friendly book, perfect for welcoming 2011, the Year of Rabbit. Written by Joan Holub and illustrated by Benrei Huang, this delightful read shares with children ages 3 to 6 with traditional activities of Chinese New Year celebrations - from shopping, preparing and enjoying the big family reunion feast, to receiving red envelops from grandparents (parents and other adults too!) to dressing up for the exciting parade which consummates in a magically unfolded long pages to symbolize the never-ending dance of lucky royal dragon. I've used this book several times in my pre-K or K classroom visits and it has always been such a great hit that will leave the kids with good cheers of New Year's blessings.* 2011 marks the Chinese New Year of Rabbit which will fall on Feb 3, 2011. (Kids born on Feb 2, 2011, for instance, will be tigers and kids born on and after Feb 3rd will be rabbits!)

A beautiful and fun way to learn about Chinese New Year,
By T Yuan "Stuy alum" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dragon Dance: A Chinese New Year LTF: A Chinese New Year Lift-the-Flap Book (Mass Market Paperback)
I love the illustrations and narrative of this book. It's a rare find amongst a sea of books attempting, but failing, to capture the spirit of this special, cultural event. Most books on the subject are patronizing, offensive, or downright inaccurate. This one is not. I like details, such as the photo of the ancestors on the table with the fruit and flowers--a tasteful way to display Chinese ancestral worship, not just during the new year celebrations. I like the Chinese astrology wheel at the back of the book and the 'make your own dragon puppet' how-to instructions. Those extra touches were a special bonus.

Great fun!,
By Christina B. Kennedy "Real book addict. E-bo... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dragon Dance: A Chinese New Year LTF: A Chinese New Year Lift-the-Flap Book (Mass Market Paperback)
I bought this book for a pre-K to K aged storytime I lead, and it was a great way to introduce Chinese New Year to the kids. It was even more fun to read alone with my own preschooler, as she could lift the flaps herself (always a bonus)! The rhyming text makes it fun to read, as the story follows a family getting ready for Chinese new Year. Includes a Chinese Zodiac wheel and instructions for making a dragon puppet.
