Reviews"Watercolor visions of both dragon realms combine traditional folk art and contemporary originality with cross-sectioned full-page images. Far-eastern architecture contrasts with European medieval castles, while modern technology, toys, and conveniences add a twist of the unexpected. Readers can search the pages for humorous scenes of modern comforts-a celebration with rock bands, karaoke, soccer for "tin" men and pizza for all. With an underlying message of the ills of prejudgment, this title should find a place in all libraries." - School Library Journal, March 2012, "Watercolor visions of both dragon realms combine traditional folk art and contemporary originality with cross-sectioned full-page images.

This primer on friendship wrapped in hijinks is paced for maximum pleasure." -- Kirkus Reviews , November 15, 2011, *STAR, "Watercolor visions of both dragon realms combine traditional folk art and contemporary originality with cross-sectioned full-page images.
