Next month, on the 19th to be exact, many folks will celebrate the Chinese New Year. I’m working on a fun printable and craft round-up for the Chinese New Year {to post in a week or so}, but I wanted to share some fun books I’ve discovered this week on our What to Read Wednesday link-up.
I remember first learning about the Chinese New Year when Emma watched Sagwa on PBS. If you head over to PBS now, your little one can play some fun games to learn about – and countdown to – the Chinese New Year.
Your littles may also enjoy watching the Chinese New Year episode of Sagwa the Chinese Siamese Cat.
Read about the Chinese New Year.

Happy! Happy Chinese New Year!
Now it’s time for this week’s link-up! We’d love for you to link up anything book related – as long as it’s family-friendly, of course!
Link Up Announcements:
- This list has our topics for 2015, but you don’t have to stick to that, anything reading and family related is welcome
- Our hosts will still share a themed selection each week, but our link up will be for anything literature related and family friendly – always.
- If you’d like to join us as a co-host in the new year, please contact Katie.
Thanks for linking your post up at #LMMLinkup. Our family used to live in China so I enjoy teaching our kids about Chinese culture as much as possible. I’ve also taught beginning Mandarin at our homeschool co-op, and these look like some fun resources. I’m familiar with some of your picks, but others are new to me!
I love the books that teach our kids about other traditions. It helps them realize it’s a great big world (although a small world after all) and people do things very differently. Thanks for this resource!
Fun memories of a long-ago party featuring egg drop soup and homemade fortune cookies after a session of kite flying!
We read several of these last week per our children’s request. They were really wonderful. Thanks for sharing so many great book lists! #HipHomeschoolingMoms
Fun list of books! This isn’t a holiday that I was really taught much about. I am excited to change that with my daughter! These look like just the books I need to teach her all about it!
Thanks for sharing with Everything Kids Link & Pin Party! Hope that you share more great ideas with us again on Sunday night!
I am ashamed to say I haven’t read any of these books … yet!
