Jin Jin the Dragon

A charming story with so much to say

I really enjoyed this book about a newborn dragon and his unique journey. The book explores a dragon's world from the unique viewpoint of the Chinese culture. As Jin Jin wanders his world, he uncovers pieces of information about the evolution of the Chinese language and clues to his true identity. I read this book to my preschool class and they really enjoyed the story and beautiful pictures. The author's insertion of Chinese symbols in the storyline and her explanation at the back of the book about their history along with the explanation of the way the Chinese people view dragons make the book a wonderful way to teach young children about the Chinese culture.
