The East dragon and the west dragon have never crossed the sea to meet each other, afraid that one will be better than the others. But the king and his silly knight went questing and ended up in an East dungeon. The East dragon goes to help and both dragons learn that they each have their difference that make each unique and perfect. Overall this book was enjoyable and the illustrations are lively and unique. However, the story was a bit long for story time, but probably just right for bedtime.

I like Scott Campbell's Illustrations on this one but the story is a bit unusual.

Not what I expected. The plot's a little too clunky for storytime. It's interesting to see other reviews saying this book will help kids "understand cultural differences". I don't think it does a good job of that at all. Did no one at any point in the publishing process think it might look bad for Western Dragon to have modern furnishings and a video game console while Eastern Dragon is surrounded by people in kimonos tending to zen gardens and preparing sushi?
