4-6Orca Origins series.
These installments are attractive but rather diffuse in focus. Chinese New Year offers substantive information about the holiday and its celebration in China, North America, and other places where Chinese people have settled. Birthdays covers customs in historical times and in modern-day countries. Excellent color photographs and intimate personal anecdotes are highlights. Recipes and activities are scattered throughout both texts. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Orca Origins titles: Chinese New Year and Birthdays.
