Cute illustrations, but there's not much of a story to go with them.

[Aolund · Rating 4 out of 5]

A joyful, detailed celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival. Too long for a storytime read, but delightful for one-on-one reading at home.

Themes: Chinese Culture, Grandparents, Family, Tradition
Age range: Preschool-Early Elementary

Text is kind of lengthy, better for kids with longer attention spans.
