I liked this book for a few reasons. First the illustrations the mood of the text because all the pictures have bright colors with beautiful details. The illustrations make the stories even more fun and interesting to read. Another thig is that the book pushes readers to think about lessons that you should learn from the stories. The stories each have a lesson to learn and think about after reading the story, and you learn about the culture of China as well. The book was made for the readers to learn about the classic stories of China and about their different cultures. ( )

The book contained many favorite children stories from Chinese folklore. Animals were in many of the stories and the illustrations were very vivid and descriptive. My favorite story was the Dream of the Butterfly about Zhuang Zi wondering about reality or dreams. I enjoyed the spiritual connotation to think about life differently. It had a ring of Taosim.
