If you are interested in bilingual titles, there is one other in my Mandarin Monday post on Mid-Autumn Festival books. This book is really more like three books in one. The first part follows a little girl as she celebrates the Moon Festival (another name for Mid-Autumn Festival) with her family. The second part tells the story of Chang’e and Hou Yi. The last part is a non-fiction description of the Mid-Autumn Festival. This book is perfect for someone who is trying to get a little bit of everything.

In this book, a little boy tries to explain away his bad habits with very elaborate and very silly reasons. He has to pick his nose because there is a button inside his head. If he just presses this button endlessly he'll send out happiness beams that will make every person happy! So really, what choice does he have?
