A nifty introduction to Chinese holidays

This little book (91 pages) appears to be geared toward children but I would highly recommend it to adults wanting a concise overview of Chinese holiday traditions. It's well organized and the cartoon sketches are wonderful. One thing that I really appreciate is that the romaniztions are in pinyin, not Wade-Giles, or the author's improvisation and the simplified characters are given for several of them.
