Reviews
"Alina Chau's vibrant depictions of Shanghai's cityscape, docks, and marketplaces surround an adorably wide-eyed Xingling as she saves the day in bunny slippers, merging old and new traditions while celebrating the spirit of the season."--Foreword Reviews
"This tale of New Year's high jinks has enough information to be enjoyed by those who have never encountered the holiday. A fun read-aloud that's sure to induce giggles."--School Library Journal
