I had about as much luck as did Charles M. Schulz’s Charlie Brown with making kites, flying kites, but I’ve always liked kites anyway.
One cool thing about this book is that in the back there are detailed instructions, with pictures included, for how to make and fly kites.
The story in this book is mostly a vehicle to describe the various traditional Chinese meanings of many birds, insects, reptiles & fish & crustaceans, and other animals, gods & Buddhas, flowers, symbols. More...

This is an interesting, but a little too overly repetitive story about kites. I liked the first dozen pictures, but then it started to lose me. We still enjoyed the illustrations and the craft at the end is one that we've done before; it's definitely a craft that children can make without too much help. We have really enjoyed Demi's books and we will certainly look for more at our local library.
