CIP Info A small mouse named Chopsticks who lives on a floating restaurant in China becomes friends with a carved wooden dragon who wants to fly. The illustrations are vibrant and detailed. I spend minutes upon minutes looking at each one in great detail. Chopsticks (a mouse) goes to an old man to find out how to make the carved wooden dragon fly. After Chopsticks learns the song, and plays it on nights with a full moon, the dragon comes alive. He and the dragon soar over the country. When they return Chopsticks goes and tells the old man their adventures. It doesn’t tell what medium the illustrations are don in, but they are impressive. The book may not be worth a purchase for a personal collection, but should be added to a library collection.
