A young Chinese-American girl describes her family's celebration of the Chinese New Year, from sweeping away last year's bad luck to preparing the traditional feast and watching the parade in Chinatown. An unfortunate typographical error mars the text, but the bright collage illustrations, with their many pleasing patterns, make for an attractive introduction. A brief endnote supplies additional information.
