Synopsis
Discover all the celebratory traditions surrounding Lunar New Year in this festive addition to the Night Before series.
It's the night before Lunar New Year, and a little girl is excited for all of the celebrations to come. She's prepared dumplings with her mom, bought a new dress in Chinatown, and even helped scare mythical beast Nian away with her cousins and brother. There's only one problem: she's a bit nervous about all of the loud noises at the upcoming Lunar New Year Parade. Will she overcome her fears? Find out in the latest installment of the Night Before series, told in the style of Clement C. Moore's classic tale.
The Night Before series helps young readers—and their parents!—explore big milestones in an encouraging, uplifting way.

Reviews
K-Gr 2-Lunar New Year is featured in this latest installment of Wing's "The Night Before" series. Simple rhyming text and illustrations show an Asian family getting ready for and participating in Lunar New Year festivities. Ho and Wing bring authenticity to the examples of activities for this holiday, including a parade featuring the Nian monster, feeding a lion mascot oranges and lettuce, giving red envelopes containing money, and hanging spring poems. However, there is no strong plot, and the book lacks a glossary of the included terms and context for the displayed customs. Interested readers may be motivated to find nonfiction books on this holiday celebration. VERDICT Though simple, rhyming text will engage young readers, this is only recommended if looking for additional books on Lunar New Year.-Melanie Leiversα(c) Copyright 2011.
