Lanterns and Firecrackers: A
Chinese New Year Story (Festival
Time) by Jonny Zucker
Simple, Pleasant Introduction To Chinese New Year!
A Chinese family prepares for their New Year festivities they decorate the
house with flowers, then set off firecrackers to scare away bad spirits and
welcome the coming year. Family and friends sit down together for a
festive dinner, then go outside to watch the parade of dragon dancers. The
festival ends on its final night with a display of colored lanterns. Festival
Time books depict the activities of typical families, as Mom, Dad, and
children celebrate holidays that have special religious or cultural
significance for them. Cheerfully attractive color illustrations supplement a
simply-told story of the holidays origins and a description of the festivities
that are part of that holiday. Festival Time books can be read aloud to
toddlers, but are easy enough for many first and second graders to read to
themselves. Each books final two-page spread is written mainly for
parents, offering suggestions for ways to communicate the holidays
meaning to kids. (Ages 3-7)

Personal Review: Lanterns and Firecrackers: A Chinese New
Year Story (Festival Time) by Jonny Zucker
I really like this series. Students can read these books on their own and
get a lot out of them. They can also be easily read for a read aloud. They
are fun and interesting!
