"They called this fabulous animal--which could fly in the air, swim in the ocean and walk on land--DRAGON." This original tale tells how children created the dragon to bring peace to the warring tribes of ancient China. The text lacks a strong voice, but the art is striking: the dramatic block prints and the book's tall, narrow shape recall Chinese brush painting.
