[La Souris de la Bibliothèque · Rating 4 out of 5]

L'histoire a la structure classique du conte: une introduction qui décrit la situation, un problème a résoudre et un dénouement heureux avec, évidemment, sa morale finale. Ce qui le différencie des contes occidentaux, c'est qu'il met en scènes des dragons; J'ai trouvé que ce récit ressemble plus à une vieille légende chinoise qu'à un conte pour enfants. En plus de quelques lignes d'histoire, ce petit livre comporte des illustrations de type asiatique en couleur à chaque page qui sont tout simplement splendides !

This was a really pretty children's book in French about a Chinese dragon's quest to bring rain to keep the people alive. I really like books were dragons are good and helpful. The art was gorgeous. Very glad to have found a copy of this.
