From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2—This story, based on the popular Nickelodeon cartoon series, introduces children to the Chinese New Year. Kai-lan and her friends are getting ready for a big celebration. They hang red lanterns and banners and place flowers on the tables. During this preparation, Kai-lan's grandfather, YeYe, comes by wearing a dragon costume. He suggests that the children work together to carry the dragon in the parade. He has each one take a number from his hat so they will know which end of the creature to hold up. Rintoo is unhappy when he draws the middle, a position he feels is the least important. However, the entire dragon sags when he refuses to hold up his part, and Kai-lan convinces him that each part is "super, super, super important." The cartoons are bright and colorful. Kai-lan and her grandfather are the only human characters; the rest are cuddly, anthropomorphic animals. This book promises to be a welcome addition to the series.—Donna Atmur, Los Angeles Public Library

Chinese New Year children's book,
By Suzie Q (Honolulu, HI) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Happy Chinese New Year, Kai-lan! (Ni Hao, Kai-Lan) (Hardcover)
I bought this book for my granddaughter to help her understand the traditional Chinese New Year culture. Every year for Chinese New Year, we take in the festivities in our local Chinatown and being this was her first experience, I wanted to give her some kind of background. This book is great.

Kai-Lan Chinese New Year Book,
By NAV "NAV" (WI) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Happy Chinese New Year, Kai-lan! (Ni Hao, Kai-Lan) (Hardcover)
Kai-Lan's Happy Chinese New Year is a great book. It follows the show, so my 2 year old daughter understood the characters and story line right away. If your child likes Kai-Lan, this is a good book to read with her. I really like the English/Chinese/Pronounciation reference at the back.
I bought the book because my daughter requested a "book in chinese" and this one has about as much as I can handle (uses Chinese words that I hear on Ni-Hao Kai-Lan [the TV Show]) since I am not a Chinese speaker. I bought 3 Kai-Lan books at one time, and this one has the most Chinese, which I like.
