HAPPY NEW YEAR! It has been quiet on the blog lately but I am back and my lunches and Literary Lunches will be posting again regularly! To start off the new year, this Literary Lunch celebrates the Chinese New Year which starts on January 28th.
What would you do if a beast with horns, scales and wide, wicked jaws showed up in the midst of your family preparing a new year celebration? That is exactly the problem Xingling faces when the Nian Monster suddenly appears outside her kitchen. Will Xingling be able to tame the monster by feeding it traditional food? Find out in Andrea Wang's new book THE NIAN MONSTER!
- a helping of long-life noodles with fish for good fortune
- a mini Xingling made of cheese and spinach
- a sweet peanut butter "rice cake" made from bread and peanut butter
- and sweet apples with firework sprinkles
Happy New Year, Nina! Thank you for presenting this lovely book.
