Description

Happy New year Kung-Hsi Fa-Ts'ai!

Beautifully illustrated book full of information about Chinese New Year! Demi always does a wonderful wonderful illustrations.

"In a book that is itself a celebration, Demi explains the rituals and ideas behind the Chinese New Year festival. The last 15 days of the old year are spent cleaning and preparing. On the eve of the new moon, a special feast is prepared. Each food has meaning: pork, for example, brings wealth. The first 15 days of the new year are spent celebrating with lion dances, firecrackers, and other activities. Demi's characteristic tiny, lively figures illustrate each page, with several spreads devoted to small, labeled pictures identifying things associated with the holiday, such as 14 heavenly beings. Infused with joy and filled with information, this will be a fine purchase for most libraries."--Booklist

Happy New Year	March 27, 2008
Reviewer: JR from Monrovia,�ca�

I just loved the symbols and their meanings. This will be a fantastic book when it comes to decorating for the main holidays. The language is simple enough for a young child to enjoy but has the content to keep me happy. The illustrations are delightful.
