Chinese New Year Books for Kids

Celebrate the Chinese New Year on January 23, 2012 with one of these picture books (click on the covers to learn more):

Follow a Chinese American family as they get ready for the Lunar New Year in this colourful picture book for ages 3 and up.





This picture book for ages 3 and up tells about the preparations to be made for the Chinese New Year in rhyming couplets.  As the story is told, the book folds out like an accordion, revealing the parade's dancing dragon.



   In this original folktale for ages 6 and up, when a boy comes home from the market with an old wok instead of food, his parents worry they will have nothing to eat for their Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.  Then the wok rolls out of their house, and comes back with a wonderful surprise.


Does your family have a favourite Chinese New Year book that you'd like to share?  Please leave a comment below.
