Children of the Dragon: Selected Tales from Vietnam Hardcover – Picture Book, September 14, 2012

I loved that I had never heard these before. They are very kid and knowledge friendly. We had fun reading them.

A owned this book as a child (my siblings and I are Vietnamese), and I was excited to find this book again as an adult. When I was looking through it, I noticed it was missing the story of Tâm and Cám. I distinctly remember this story being in the book. Perhaps it was taken out or I got a misprint?

I am really in the beginning stages of learning about the culture of Vietnam. My husband and I are in the process of adopting our second child, from Vietnam, (we have a 2 yo adopted from China already) and I am trying to get my hands on books on Vietnamese culture. I think this was a terrific book to buy as an intro to this rich culture, the traditional stories and how the traditions that stem from them remain an active part of modern Vietnamese culture. If you are trying to learn more about Vietnamese culture, I think this is a terrific book to start with.

Children of the Dragon contains 3 Vietnamese folktales. 'How the Tiger Got its Stripes,' 'The Man in the Moon,' and ‘The Legend of the Monsoon Rains.' This is a well written book, that not only re-tells these Vietnamese folktales, but also includes wonderful facts related to each story. The illustrations in the book are colorful and beautifully drawn.

I have bought many copies of this book for grandkids or friends sherry writs a book that is fun to read and introduces White kids (.My grandkids) to a different culture. Good job!!

This is another beautiful book with great illustrations. The tales are from Viet Nam, though the book was produced in the United States.

I have a 6 and 4yo who didn't enjoy it. I'll try again when they are older.

This is a very good book, and I totally recommend it. The only thing I don't like is how it doesn't even have "The Children of the Dragon" story.

Lovely stories
