This counting book offers a simple description of the activities surrounding the celebration of Tet, the Vietnamese lunar new year ("1 mouse plans a party / 2 mice go to market"). A section at the back provides facts about the holiday and explains the importance of the details in the vibrantly colored embroidered art. This playful look at a cultural tradition can be used with a wide age range.
