Gorgeous art, though lunar new year is barely relevant here (despite getting mentioned on the flap- I wonder if the publisher was like, "if it's a Chinese story you need to mention a significant holiday!" versus just like... the full moon).

A mouse and a wooden dragon find a way to venture out into the world, seeing sights some can only dream of. Gorgeous artwork with engaging use of perspective, but font was hard to read. The story is simple, perhaps too much so. The relationship between the mouse and the dragon feels incomplete: why did the dragon choose the mouse as a helper? They seem to become close after sharing the experience of travel but it's a bit too subtle.

I loved this story of a little mouse in Hong Kong who enables a dragon statue to come to life and fly. An inspiring story.
