How to Catch a Dragon by Adam Wallace
3.0
This is a very odd book, that looks like it was trying to be all things to all people. It appears to take place in a Chinese area, perhaps even China, yet, there are all sorts of ethnicities present. It also seems to be a village.
Each page has a word in English that is highlighted, and in the illsutration on the page, the corresponding Chinese character is drawn.
But there is nowhere in the book explaining that, or giving any background on the calligraphy of the first place
The story is in rhymes, which is never my favorite, and it shows all the things you might find by going to a Chinese new year celebration
