Joe plays Blue's Clues with us to figure out Blue's favorite season. Is it a spoiler to say that summer doesn't pop up as a twist ending?

There are flaps for little hands to play with, but they rarely reveal anything interesting as the friends visit a pumpkin patch attraction in their search for clues.

Ho-hum. Didn't do much for my daughter when she was seven either.

This is a very cute book. The characters are excited and cute and convey enthusiasm about this holiday. There are nine Chinese words taught, and they are well integrated into the story. The Chinese culture and holiday are portrayed in a fun and positive light, family relations are kind and considerate, and friends help each other and work as a team. A positive introduction for children to Chinese New Year.

Teachers can use this book to help children learn about and celebrate Chinese New Year show more in the classroom, and learn a few Chinese words to boot. Librarians can feature it for Chinese New Year celebrations and bilingual story times. show less

A la première lecture, une certaine interrogation sur la qualité de ce livre : couleurs criardes et kitchs, un texte peu élaboré et un sujet traité légèrement. Mais cela ressemble beaucoup à un livre chinois... Alors, pourquoi pas! Découvrir la culture chinoise -ici les fêtes du nouvel an et les chiffres- passe aussi par la conception du livre.
