Lin Yi's Lantern: A Moon Festival Tale: 1

I was intrigued by the lovely cover, but unfortunately I found the story quite dull, and the illustrations dark and depressing. All the characters look misshapen and haggard, like zombies or Tim Burton creations. I personally would've been frightened by them as a child.The overall drab tone seems out of place for what is a gentle, light, and family-friendly festival. I feel that the book's cover does not accurately convey its contents. However, it's evident that a lot of work went into the illustrations, so I rated 2 stars.

Really fun project at the end of book, making lantern. Story is nice and i would say for kids aged 5 years and above.

I used this book with a class of Foundation Stage pupils along with the storycards produced by Rising Stars. I chose to use it because we have been looking at stories from other cultures.I have given it 5 stars. The children loved it! We read the story and had themed actvities running alongside it all week. The story lends itself to many areas of learning within the Early Years curriculum and the artwork is stunning!In the back of the book there is also the story behind the moon festival - The Moon Fairy Legend. I invited 'Uncle Hui' into class to tell this story which was a nice enrichment activity. The children were full of questions surrounding the story and many have gone on to buy it for home :o)

This is the most beautiful book I've ever seen! The illustrations are out of this world and the story is just lovely!

Came as expected

Super

Excellent

Beautifully written and illustrated book. I recently read it to my reception (FS2) class and they were captivated.
