This is a beautiful book with colorful illustrations. The text is simple and makes this a quick, informative story. Being a teacher, I could use this story in a preschool class or with older children. Grace Lin is a very gifted illustrator. My daughter and I enjoy all of her books.

Grace Lin's BRINGING IN THE NEW YEAR tells of a Chinese family who sweeps out the old year and brings spring-happiness poems, lanterns and celebrations in for the New Year. Lively color drawings bring to life the customs of one family's Chinese New Year celebrations.

This picture book captures the warmth, joy, and colors of the Lunar New Year celebration with a simple story and illustrations. My kids love this book and will read it even when the holiday is long over. I regularly donate this book to my kids' classrooms where it becomes a favorite of the teachers and students.

This is a great book for 2-3 year olds - lots of beautiful, colorful illustrations and not too many complicated words. My son really enjoyed learning about Chinese New Year as did his class mates (his teacher read it to everyone in school).

I used this book for a Chinese New Year Day @ my little one's preschool to teach the kids another culture. the book has a short story that is perfect for little people, and inside the cover page is a little picture/name section of some chinese items. the reason I gave it 4 stars is that the Dragon, a large parade dragon< scared the kids a little.

Great book for young readers and read alouds. The illustrations are especially interesting, and the book captures the holiday quite well. Great for anyone wanting to learn about the Chinese new year.
