Recensione:

"The engaging illustrations use graceful lines and bright color washes to depict a bustling Chinese village infused with holiday excitement." —,School Library Journal

"...beautifully illustrated picture book about a little Chinese boy named Long-Long, who accompanies his grandfather into the city to sell cabbages in order to buy food and decorations for the New Year. Selling cabbages is harder than Long-Long expects, and he encounters many adventures before he finds a way to help his grandfather, and earn New Year's treats for his mother and little cousin." —Kid World Citizen
