Anyone know of some good titles?
All the books I have come across are geared towards older children.

Thanks.

I'm interested in finding some too.

We have this board book, not Lunar New Year but it's about dim sum and is very cute.

We have this cute book which both of my kids enjoy.: My First Chinese New Year by Karen Katz

Also, visit ChinaSpout.com...they have a great selection of books and music for all ages.

Hope this helps.

I was also going to say "My First Chinese New Year." Also check out "D is for Dragon Dance."

Dragon Dance: A Chinese New Year Lift-the-Flap Book by Joan Holub (haven't seen this one IRL, but it's received some good reviews): http://www.amazon.com/Dragon-Dance-Chinese-Lift-Flap/dp/0142400009/

Not completely about Chinese New Year, but might work for a toddler: Red is a Dragon, and Round is a Mooncake; both by Roseanne Thong.

These might be too old for a toddler, but I've always liked:
Sam and the Lucky Money by Karen Chinn
Lion Dancer by Kate Waters
Happy New Year! / Kung-Hsi Fa-Ts'ai! by Demi
