Reading Roundup – China
These books have a “China” theme to them. The kids liked them all immensely. We did a fairly large unit on China back a couple years ago. We pulled out our China lapbook. DD did a couple of the lapbook activities about China (you can find lots at homeschoolshare.com–The Story of Ping) and we made Mooncakes–here is a similar recipe.
This has a been a favorite of our for years! Another highly recommended book. *10 |
This is a folk tale about five brothers who have various abilities. A very cute story. ED especially loved this book. For some reason this book is harder for me to rate maybe 8* or 9* |
I love finding new book ideas. I'll jot those down to look for the next time we study China. We have the first 2 on your list but not the others. If you ever want to add a few more China books to your collection, I highly recommend The Pet Dragon by Christoph Niemann, Look What Came From China by Miles Harvey, The Seven Chinese Brothers by Margaret Mahy (similar to your 5 Chinese Brothers one), Lon Po Po by Ed Young, and Daisy Comes Home by Jan Brett.
