Lindsay (1779 KP) rated Our Moon Festival: Celebrating the Moon Festival in Asian Communities in Books
Sep 4, 2021
Are you looking for a book about different Asian cultures and other traditions? I found one that talks about their Moon Festival. It is good to learn about different cultures and not change that culture because we do not like it. We should try and understand it.
“Our Moon Festival” by Yobe Qui is a beautiful picture book about three different families and how they celebrate the Moon and their traditions. The first one is about a Chinese festival and talks about Singapore. The second story talks about the Vietnamese and their lovely traditions. The last story is about the Japanese and how they celebrate the holiday with their traditions.
This book shows and illustrates the holiday; it talks about what is similar and how they are different. The illustrations in the book are displayed well and beautifully. The images are bright and colorful. Great for children and parents to learn about Asian communities and a bit of Asian culture.
Children will want to learn more about these three Asian countries, Japan, Singapore, Chinese, and the culture. Children want to learn about the Moon Festivals. I think they are different but similar. I enjoyed learning about other holidays and the traditions of different cultures. I enjoy learning about the Our Moon Festival.

At this point, my daughter is still too young to actually read. I've been using this book more to get her in the habit of handling books than I have as an actual learning tool.
The pages are sturdier than the other board books she's gotten, so she can actually flip from one page to another on her own, and the pages don't dissolve when she chews on them. Bonus points for that!
I can see that this book would work nicely as a baby dictionary, to teach children to associate words with pictures of everyday things - from colors, to clothes, to animals.

I feel like all that really needs to be said is: Girl Power. This book has it, is about it, and is not quiet about it.
The story has wonderful elements of humans and a beautifully explained view of so many types of Yokai. I really enjoyed seeing all of the different types and learning more. I just wish the plot didn't swing so many times from person to person. It ended up a bit jumbled.
While I enjoyed the story and the different takes on Yokai I was not a fan of the ending. That is the reason for the 3 stars.

I’m reviewing the “Top 10 of Everything 2018”, and as the title suggests this is a fun book full of top ten lists, all found to astound you, by the fabulous information gatherer Paul Terry.
On each page there’s additional facts with engaging pictures. There’s also a full subject index, which will have information seekers drooling. Young and old, alike.
An ideal book for any list-loving who enjoys learning new things and discovering mind-boggling facts you just wouldn’t find anywhere else.
Perfect for quiz masters, curious minds, and for use as a coffee-table book to get the conversation flowing!

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
This is the first I have read in this series but it is certainly not the last. I thought this was going to be another cliche romance story involving a female wronged by a man for a stupid reason and a man tired of meaningless sex. Honestly it would have been if the author wasnt such a good storyteller. I enjoyed both the characters and environment. Their love story was a delight, reading their journey of learning what they need rather than what they think they need.

When their shepherd is killed, the flock decide to figure out who would kill him. The premise was interesting and different but the first half was very slow as we spent all kinds of time learning about life in the pasture. There were some fun passages as the sheep tried to figure humans out. Eventually, the plot did get moving, although between the 18 sheep plus the humans, I had a hard time keeping everything straight.

Great for all ages
Everyone in my house loves this game from my 3 yr old son to my 35 yr old husband. There was even a study on how it's good for someone with depression and anxiety because of the socializing you do with the characters and the pace of the game. Fishing, bugs, fossils, and artwork make it educational and add in the occasional character who needs help with his countries rounds out the learning. Also, you can help your neighbors, create your own landscaping, and even design your own shirts! Plenty to do and events to participate in.

4.5/5* This book was such a pleasant surprise - randomly picking it up at the library (and reading 30 pages while standing there) I decided to take it home - I finished it within a day I was so addicted. The ragtag group of teens battling bullying and drugs - trying to find themselves through the summer. I think the hometown hero aspect was so fun, each person doing something great and trying to make a difference, learning not all choices are going to be cut and dry, and even the romance was great. Such an awesome book.
When I saw this on a library shelf I felt a warmth sensation filling me up inside.
I have, since the very first read of the The millennium Trilogy, been continuously involved in learning further about the books, the characters and of course, Steig himself.
However, when it came to reading this book it seemed to pinpoint on a section and then repeating its meaning with large words that over-powered one another.
I love psychology and I love the trilogy and anything belonging to this.
However, I didn't find it as fascinating as I hoped to have had.
