HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR! A Festive Counting Story

Sura Siu's voice shines with welcoming excitement as she narrates a fun counting story centered around the New Year. Each animal in the zodiac brings along treats and takes on tasks to prepare for a Chinese New Year celebration. First comes rat, who cleans away the bad luck of the last year. The party begins when all the dumplings and noodles are prepared and pig, the 12th guest, arrives. After the story, Siu narrates with warmth and a smile in her voice as she shares explanations about each of the traditions in the audiobook--from the cleaning of the home to the list of foods eaten during the celebration. The audiobook concludes with Siu reading each of the numbers, 1 through 12, in Mandarin Chinese. E.E.C. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine [Published: NOVEMBER 2022]
