Legend of the Chinese Dragon

32 pp. | North-South | January, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7358-2152-1 $15.95
(4) K-3 Translated by Sibylle Kazeroid. Illustrated by Catherine Louis & Wang Fei. "They called this fabulous animal--which could fly in the air, swim in the ocean and walk on land--DRAGON." This original tale tells how children created the dragon to bring peace to the warring tribes of ancient China. The text lacks a strong voice, but the art is striking: the dramatic block prints and the book's tall, narrow shape recall Chinese brush painting.
