Awakening the Dragon: The Dragon Boat Festival

24 pp. | Tundra | June, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-88776-656-0 $$15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Song Nan Zhang. Bland prose and busy illustrations provide basic information about the festival from ancient China. Double-page spreads explain possible origins of this celebration, describe its traditional foods and customs, and discuss dragon boat racing. Though sometimes short on specifics, the book presents an adequate general overview of this annual festival.
