Pretty cover! Kids will pick it up first out of their books.

Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

The cover is nice. The illustrations are a four out of five. The poetry will not appeal to youngsters though. It has no rhythm. It's awkward to read in places because the English leaves out adjectives in some places and puts adjectives in other places. Inconsistent. This causes a pause and reread over those areas. The reader must read more than two or three times to try to create their own phonetic rhyme and rhythm for the delivery of the words. Since the poetry doesn't flow and contains unfamiliar words, and inconsistent use of adjectives, the rhyming is not so well done. A well written poem flows! No special brilliance in the lanterns that was promised. in the description. The children had children other than Chinese -- with eyeglasses on. The days of the dragon were so long ago that eyeglasses were not available. Just not believable to me. I was hoping for something especially colorful in the illustrations but the hype in the description put my expectations too high.(paper lanterns, red envelopes, fireworks, and more!) The lanterns looked faded and orange. I could not see the "more" anywhere. Not for reading to my grandchildren. However, it is something they can hold, play with and turn the pages.

We have quite a few of the books from Adam's How to catch series, and they never cease to amaze me more and more. Every night my kids want to read them before bed. The illustrations along with the story line are beautiful and poem like. We absolutely love them all! How to catch a dragon follows a Chinese new year, and some others in the series are mainly Christmas related or just other holidays as well. I highly suggest any of these books for kids. They did an amazing job with them and my kids think so as well! We plan on getting more of the series too.

deceptive title

very disappointed with this book. i thought by the title it would have been a fun kids book but its not. Chinese culture, which is not a problem, but he never explains it. Kids don't have any idea of what is going on. The story goes no where. Won't buy this author again.

My grandsons love this little book, they sit on my lap while I read it to them. They ask me what the children are saying, so we make up things they might be saying. I have bought several more from this author and plan to give them to the boys as the holidays that corresponds comes up. St Patty's day, Easter, Christmas etc. I recommend them to anyone with children. Beautifully illustrated.

I'd say th is is a lot better than a lot of the other ones that follow the same theme. It did more focus on chinese new year than I thought. The kinders enjoyed the book a lot.

Cultural appropriation as there are multiple inaccuracies regarding Chinese culture!

Cultural appropriation as there are multiple inaccuracies regarding Chinese culture. For example, Chinese people don’t eat sticky rice, that’s Japanese!
