~跟著生肖們過新年,一邊數數一邊體驗過年習俗~
老鼠用一支掃把把壞運掃走;
牛買了兩套新衣服;
老虎帶了三種花裝飾家裡;
兔子在牆上貼了四張春聯…
十二生肖帶來十二種過年的習俗,
和孩子聊聊看最喜歡哪幾種?
最後一起圍爐,團團圓圓過好年。
The zodiac animals are ready to celebrate Chinese New Year with traditions and a big feast! Little ones can count to twelve as each animal prepares for the holiday:
Rat cleaned away the bad luck in one big sweep!
Ox shopped for two new outfits.
Tiger brought three kinds of flowers.
The simple text and vibrant illustrations in this book make it easy for little ones to follow along as the animals' preparations lead up to a tasty feast followed by a party with music and dancing!
The pages also feature the Chinese characters that correspond to each number highlighted on the page. Children will learn to recognize the characters as they read the book again and again, and the pronunciation guide will help them say the words out loud.
In the back of the book, each of the Chinese New Year traditions mentioned in the story is explained in further detail—from the customs of cleaning the house and wearing new clothes to hanging lanterns and making dumplings.
