👹🧨 All About Nian Shou 🧨👹

小年兽
Nian The New Year Monster
Suitable for 5yo & above

小年兽 is the story of Nian 👹 retold by 熊亮 with a new perspective. Nian 👹 is a lonely demon who has no friends. Every winter, the feeling of loneliness and despair is so intense that resulted in him going after lonely people. But the people soon discovered how to chase him away with happiness. Then come one day, a boy was feeling lonely and crying, and that attracted Nian 👹… how would the boy defeat the demon in his heart to be happy again? ❤️

年兽吹牛
The Boastful Nian brothers
Suitable for 5yo & above

In this story, Nian 👹 is no longer the fearsome monster but a family of four living in the ocean in awe of the human world filled with sumptuous food 🥟🍲guarded by a legendary fiery giant. One day, perturbed by the relentless boasting between the noisy Nian brothers, Nian papa threw an ultimate challenge that whoever who gets a taste of the reunion dinner in the forbidden village will be the best Nian 👹. Needless to say, the Nian brothers took up the challenge with glee. Will they succeed under the watchful eyes of legendary fiery giant? Vivid and vibrant illustrations bring out the gaiety of the festival and the funny banter of the Nian brothers makes this a light-hearted bedtime read… but beware… it might make you very hungry too! 😋🤗
