The Sons of the Dragon King: A Chinese Legend

32 pp. | Atheneum | May, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-689-85184-7 $$16.95
(4) K-3 A dragon king helps his nine immortal sons turn what on the surface seem like indulgent proclivities into useful talents. The illustrations use fluid, energetic brush strokes and cut-paper images. The tale makes a connection between folklore and culture, but despite its graceful execution, the concept will likely make the book too sophisticated for the traditional picture book audience.
