This blog was developed as a resource for teachers and educators looking for multi-cultural books to share with children. I have compiled and cited various reviews of the books listed in this blog, and have added web resources and other tools that will help teachers use the books for instructional purposes. These are all books I have read personally or have previewed a hands on copy of.

The Pet Dragon: A Story about Adventure, Friendship, and Chinese Characters
The Pet Dragon: A Story about Adventure, Friendship, and Chinese Characters
Written and Illustrated by: Christoph Niemann
Elementary Grades
"Meet Lin and her pet dragon! When the dragon mysteriously disappears, Lin sets off on a journey to find her best friend and readers set off on a journey of learning and discovery.
By ingeniously integrating written Chinese characters into the illustrations as the story progresses, Christoph Niemann has created a book that is engrossing, unique, and memorable. The Pet Dragon is a playful introduction to the fascinating world of Chinese language and culture . . . and a terrific story to share with children everywhere."
