## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    I think this is a book best read in chapters over tea and cakes by yourself
  

*by S***Q on Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2014*

I picked up this book in hopes of learning Chinese myths that were familiar from childhood and more ancient ones that my grandparents and parents did not share with me.  I have to agree with other readers that the speech pattern can be difficult to follow at times, even as a bilingual person.  I tried reading out loud in order to find the rhythm and calibrate the grammar but I found myself running out of steam.  I think this is a book best read in chapters over tea and cakes by yourself.  It is not a Mother Goose collection that can be easily shared with a child on your lap.  However, it is an okay source to learn the stories so that the reader can retell to someone else in their own voice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    great way to explore Chinese culture
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2016*

Excellent book. I got it as a thank you gift for a friend's children who are adopted from China. Worked out wonderfully.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A good collection of stories.
  

*by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2014*

This is a good collection of traditional stories with a nice framing story about a Chinese family.  This book includes all sorts of classic elements of Chinese folklore like the eight immortals and the Monkey King.  It even has stories that highlight some of China's older traditions.  A good read for those who like Chinese folk stories.
