The Tea Dragon Society is really cute. I find the lettering a bit difficult to read at times, mostly I think because of the colours chosen (and possibly partly because I read it on my monitor, rather than as a dead-tree book), but the art is lovely. The tone is very gentle, with a lot of whimsy, and the characters are appealing -- kind, gentle, working away at what feels right for them (once they've found it).

The whole idea of tea dragons -- and the tea you can brew from their leaves -- is lovely, too.
