mostly nostalgic, but a very cute story!

Such a fantastic story weaving together Chinese Folk tales, I absolutely loved it!

One of the best books I’ve ever read. Cried, laughed, screamed. An amazing blend of adventure, mythology, and coming of age. Highly recommend for any age!

Excellent read-aloud. We particularly enjoyed all the short stories tucked inside the larger story, and how they eventually tied together.

Although YA/intermediate and not my typical read, it was a great children’s story. I enjoyed the mini tales within!

Kids read aloud. They enjoyed Min Lee and the Dragon and their adventure together.
I enjoyed the vibrant imagery, and the overall theme of thankfulness.
