Fun book for sharing Chinese New Year traditions!
This delightful book provides a great introduction to some of the most popular Chinese New Year traditions, all with the help of everyone's favorite monkey, Curious George, and his friend Mei. From cleaning house and getting haircuts to eating foods rich in symbolism, young children will have fun learning about these customs while enjoying curious George's silly antics. The easy to flip tabs, each illustrated with an icon for that page’s topic, also make it a fun for even the youngest of pre-readers to hold the book on their own and enjoy its whimsical artwork. Great for home, school, and library collections!

Wonderful book about Chinese New Year!
It's Chinese New Year Curious George is an adorable and fun introduction to Chinese New Year. The tabbed book is perfect for little hands! Each tab highlights a custom/tradition for Chinese New Year. I’ve recently learned that Chinese New Year and Lunar New Year are not identical! Some countries celebrate Lunar New Year with different traditions than in this book. It’s Chinese New Year Curious George is about the traditions found in Chinese culture.The illustrations are lively and will draw in readers of all ages. The rhyming text is engaging and informative. I learned a lot about this holiday and I think this book is will be great for those who celebrate and those who want to learn more about the Chinese New Year and learn about a different culture.

Great Addition to Curious George Series!
This is a great book to learn more about Chinese New Year and its traditions and history. Kids and parents are introduced to the unique customs of Chinese New Year and experience them along with Curious George and his friend Mei. As kids grow older, they can still read the book and understand more about the holiday, and may even want to try some of the food or activities that the book shows and describes. The School Library Journal's review above is misleading in that it seems to attempt to equate other Asian countries' Lunar New Year celebrations to Chinese New Year. While each culture has unique ways of celebrating, this book is focused on Chinese New Year so that readers can learn more about this specific holiday.

My childhood favorite explores my culture!
I love this book! It's absolutely perfect for young children to learn about their cultural heritage and so many Chinese New Year traditions. While Lunar New Year is celebrated by many different countries, this book focuses specifically on Chinese New Year (the two are not synonymous). I also appreciated the attention to detail with adding the tones to the pinyin. It's refreshing to see a childhood favorite character of mine get a story related to my own culture, and nostalgic to see the classic illustrations brought to life again! I am eyeing this as a gift for my young niece and nephews.

Super cute book!
This is a very cute book about Chinese New Year that shares information about the holiday such as cleaning the house and getting a haircut before the holiday begins and about the custom of giving red envelopes containing money. Very happy I bought this book for my toddler granddaughter.
