February 14 rings in the Year of the Tiger.

Just what is Chinese New Year? There's actually a lot more to it than lion dances and firecrackers, although these two pieces of tradition are integral and more visible, Chinese New Year to China is like Christmas to the West. In essence, Chinese New Year is spending time with family, gift giving and, the all important, food-fest.

Don't forget, February is Library Lovers' Month.

Kitchen Chemistry

Review:

"…This tidy kid-friendly book is crammed with activities and information on chemistry ... Lots of science information is mixed with the how-to of the projects and there is hardly a blank space on a page anywhere in the book. ...A very nicely done and reasonably priced collection." —Gwynne Spencer , Children’s Literature Fall 2008
