Ruby's Chinese New Year
By: Vickie Lee
Great book about the Chinese Zodiac and Chinese new year. Teachers will also love this!! Features a young girl named Ruby as she embarks on a journey to deliver a special New Year’s gift to her grandmother. Along the way, Ruby encounters each of the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac, who assist her in reaching her destination. Ruby’s interactions with the zodiac animals highlight the virtues associated with each creature, offering subtle moral lessons woven throughout. This is great one for teachers, an excellent resource for introducing children to the Chinese Zodiac. The illustrations are amazing too, I love this style! Joey Chou did an excellent job with this. Also I was thrilled to find extra pages in the back with additional activities. A perfect book for everyone celebrating the Lunar New Year and great choice for teachers promoting cultural awareness in class. Add this one to your Children’s Bookshelf!
