It does, however, end with a zodiac wheel to help you identify what animal year you were born in as well as directions to make your own paper bag dragon puppet, both of which would be fun activities to share with small children. The lift-the-flap choices are not the most elegant I've seen, but children love lift-the-flap books so I'm sure they would be delighted with these no matter what. In general the illustrations are eye-catching with pleasing form and bright colors. Overall, this is a pretty decent addition to a home or school lesson or other programming on Chinese New Year.
