Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 1–3—Each of these titles describes the history and traditions associated with these holidays, and then presents eight related crafts. Chinese New Year includes instructions for dancing dragon puppets, red gift envelopes, and Chinese lanterns; Day of the Dead gives directions for making paper marigolds, skull masks, skeletons, and window banners. The crafts contain materials lists and color photos of the steps and of the finished product. The directions are easy to follow, and enlargeable patterns are provided. These titles would make good additions to collections in need of cultural materials.—G. Alyssa Parkinson, Highland Township Library, MI

Review

The directions are easy to follow, and enlargeable patterns are provided. These titles would make good additions to collections in need of cultural materials. --School Library Journal - June 2008

Though directed to schools and libraries, these books are also a great resource for parents seeking hands-on activities with their children . . . --Multicultural Review - Summer 2008

4.0 out of 5 stars Good resource for elementary aged crafters

This is a colorful and fun book that reflects Randel McGee's enthusiastic writing style and creativity. Although the projects and text are very simple, he does a nice job of including some basic background and Chinese cultural information for each project. The resource section has a few reproducible templates that will come in handy.  Lucky Bamboo Book of Crafts

Book has easy to follow templates and is informative. I used it for a celebration of Chinese New Year with elementary age children. We made lanterns and dragons. They came out well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great ideas for Chinese New Year crafts
Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2008
Another in the Enslow Press series Paper Craft Fun for Holidays, Chinese New Year explores basic facts about the holiday and offeres simple, effective crafts that children should have no difficulty making. Librarians, teachers and parents will find this title by California storyteller, puppeteer, papercrafter and Hans Christian Andersen portrayer Randal McGee a useful addition to their libraries. Instructions are easy to follow and children age 8 and up should have no difficulty making the crafts; younger children may require some assistance with cutting. Plenty of white space on the pages and good use of color will make this appealing book appealing to children.
