"Wan’s (Be My Yummy ABC) signature brightly colored kawaii illustrations lend themselves to the fully saturated backgrounds. A basic introduction to the holiday that’s irresistibly cute enough to appeal to families who celebrate, as well as those who want to learn more... This delightful introduction to colors, Mandarin Chinese, and Lunar New Year traditions is recommended..."—School Library Journal
“This vibrantly hued concept book combines basic information about the Lunar New Year with an exploration of colors. Bright and chunky digital illustrations with bold black outlines introduce 12 different colors, each presented by a different animal of the Chinese zodiac... the rhyming text flows smoothly as it describes each scene. With their rounded bodies and big eyes, the very cute and simple animals will be an instant hit with young children who love all things kawaii: Squishmallows, Labubus, or Jellycat stuffies. Back matter includes a paragraph about each of the New Year’s symbols found in the book and a diagram of the zodiac signs. This book does double duty as both a mirror (for children already familiar with the holiday) or as a window for those learning about the Lunar New Year.”—Youth Services Book Review
