 Chinatown erupts with the noise of drums and firecrackers and the beauty of vibrant colors during the celebration of the Chinese New Year. The most important and popular of all Chinese festivals, the ideas of communal awareness and starting anew are taught by honoring Tsun Kwan, the god of the hearth, and the festival of the dragon. A zodiac quiz and a traditional Chinese folktale show how traditions have remained constant over centuries, while a Chinese dragon-making project invites children to discover their own creativity. Part of the Holidays for Children Video Series. A teacher's guide is included and is available online. |
1996 Parents' Choice Award winner.
"  ...this long-awaited video series which introduces children to holidays in America and around the globe is highly recommended." - Video Librarian (Jan/Feb 1995)"The series explores and explains the symbols, customs, rituals and folklore underlying our major holidays...Public and school library collections will be enhanced by this contemporary look at these celebrations...an excellent introduction for young children." - School Library Journal (Feb 1995) "...this series recognizes the spiritual roots and secular customs of each notable observance. These are welcome videos that don't revisit the well-trod paths of other holiday titles." - Booklist (March 1, 1995)
