The shimmering, frolicking Lion Dance banishes last year's troubles and welcomes the new year's promises. As one person hoists the lion's head, and another moves with the body and tail, the lion begins to dance. Musicians beat a thunderous rhythm with a drum, a gong and cymbals, tempting the lively lion to prance and jump.

This is an interesting book for children telling about Chinese New Year.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I — I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. ~Robert Frost
