How Lunar New Year is celebrated around the world, especially in China.
This is a very comprehensive book. You could easily do a short unit study using just this text. The format works for a variety of ages or abilities. The book is divided into two parts – first the picture book, then the last six pages are mostly text with “More About the Chinese New Year”, a variety of supplemental activities and further information for parents, teachers, or older children.
