Review:

Miss Grace LOVES these book and all the great goodies Carol has shared with her, as we have reviewed the series (seriously she has a vase of international flags that holds center stage on top of her bookshelf)! As we had rad some books this past year on China, she was quite interested to go through this book as soon as it came in, and to use her fan and chopsticks (she still can't quite master them and it vexes her that I can,LOL). Once again Carol gives us a great book that demystifies a culture most kids don't know much about, and introduces them to common words and phrases.Another winner, and a great addition to your home resource library, before Chinese new year rolls around again!
