The Seven Chinese Sisters

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Grace Lin. The story about brothers with unusual abilities is recast with seven sisters who have less quirky but equally useful talents--e.g., speaking to dogs and riding scooters as "fast as the wind." When a hungry dragon kidnaps Seventh Sister, the girls race to her rescue. The tale's humor is played up in both text (apparently dog language can pass for dragon) and illustrations (the dragon looks woefully skinny).
Reviewer: Tanya D. Auger
