REVIEW
I like that this book included a lot of information, but was not overwhelming or an abundance of text. I think that's what makes it a nice fit for this age group. I appreciated that the author kept repeating the phrase 'gung hay fat choy' and that they usually put it in all capital letters to make it stand it. This was a great way to get students to remember that phrase. The pictures of the dragons were also beautiful.
