[LM_NET] GEN: Chinese New Year book for adult needed

[Suzanne Ng <suzanne@WHATEXIT.COM>]

This is a personal request....

I am looking for a book , nothing too long... about Chinese New Year  
-- the traditions, explanations of the different days ( i.e. Day 1,  
visit family, day 2 entertain family... or whatever) .  My  62 year  
old mom has invited herself along  on my upcoming trip to Singapore.  
We will be in the country during the bulk of Chinese New Year, and   
my mom is interested in learning about some traditions,  
expectations,  etc, before she goes.


I've got some picture books at school, which I will look at tomorrow,  
but I figured I'd ask for the group's input as well.

Picture books or short (under 100 pages) books are fine.

Thanks!

Please reply off list.
