Those of you wanting to use it for educational purposes may like that it has several Chinese words in the back with definition and that it explains some of the holiday.
Each page has a word in English that is highlighted, and in the illsutration on the page, the corresponding Chinese character is drawn.I enjoyed the hints at other dragon books, the inclusion of many different colored characters and the fun way to teach children about Chinese New Year. From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling How to Catch series--do you have what it takes to snag a dragon? How to Catch a Dragon is a story about s young boy and his friends trying to catch a dragon for good fortune. I was going to hold this off until next year at New Years, but I needed some 2019 books for this month, so I’m using it. However, as we read through it it soon became clear that it isn't quite up to the same brilliant standard of How To Grow A Dinosaur and Supermarket Zoo.
In addition, the artwork is very colorful, and works well with the Chinese culture that the story is representing. A little boy desperately wants to catch a dragon to guarantee health and good fortune for the New Year.With a focus on the Chinese New Year it gives background information to young children about how other cultures celebrate a holiday.
