This is a cute book that seems to adequately show true and realistic Chinese customs for the Lunar New Year. HOWEVER, heads up that the Chinese used in the book is CANTONESE - not Mandarin. "Gung Hay Fat Choy" is Cantonese for "Happy New Year" and is spoken in Hong Kong and very southeast of China.
