Publisher: Mantra Lingua

This is a wonderful dual language book that tells the story in English and Mandarin, perfect for exposing pupils to Chinese written characters or allowing Mandarin-speaking pupils to share in the narrative. The story is about a boy called Li, who needs to help his family to prepare for their exciting Chinese New Year celebrations as well as to find out about the different zodiac animals in order to decide which character to play in his school assembly. We think that it is hugely important to have dual language books in your classroom library and this one is perfect for the theme of cultural celebrations.
