By: 葛欣, 徐莉Originally Published In: ChinaFormat: PaperbackLanguage: Simplified ChinesePages per book: 30Lines per page: 1-5Price per book: $7.00 After reviewing several picture books that discuss Chinese festivals, we selected this 7-book collection: 中国传统节日故事 (zhōng guó chuán tǒng jiē rì gù shì) Traditional Chinese Festivals as the best.  Why we love these books:  While most festival-themed stories are about tales and myth, these stories are centered around the contemporary, everyday life of two siblings, 团团 and 圆圆. The pages are filled with the holiday customs of a modern Chinese family.  Readers are invited to discover the tales and traditions together with 团团 and 圆圆  as the siblings participate in festival activities and adventures.  The stories include all seven major traditional festivals essential to the Chinese cultural experience.  Adorable illustrations.  Hands-on crafts are included for kids to make a New Year red envelope and a firecracker.   Simple, short text and everyday
