The first installment of the Little Tiger and the Year of the Dragon series is an interesting explication. It does a good job of setting up the next two books. I would say, though, that if you are going to read the first book, you should definitely read more, because after reading the first book, you feel as though there is more, and not just in a typical one-of-a-series way. The book feels like an introductory portion of a book.

I initially chose this short book because the Chinese setting promised some originality compared to the hundreds of other middle-grade fantasy books I’ve picked up, put down, or passed by over the last few months. While the storyline was fairly typical, the colorful setting did not disappoint.

Cute kids book of magic and fantasy. Definitely for kids - perhaps 9 - 13. Read as a lead-in to The Sponge Docks of Tarpon Springs - this is a six-book series.
I Thought it was a quick enjoyable story.
I won a copy of The Dragon King of Beijing through Goodreads. It's a cute book for a boy. I think my nephew would probably enjoy it. I received the next two books in the series also and enjoyed the first book enough to continue with the story.
Cute story! I know my nephew will love it. So grateful to goodreads for the first read!
