from goodreads.com:
Once there were seven Chinese sisters who lived together and took care of each other. After baby Seventh Sister is snatched by a hungry dragon, her loving sisters race to save her. In Kathy Tucker's delightful update of a classic Chinese folk tale, exuberantly illustrated by Grace Lin, each sister uses her talent in a surprising way to rescue baby Seventh Sister--and even Seventh Sister turns out to have an unexpected skill.
* This book is based upon the classic Chinese Folk tale The Seven Chinese Brothers. Unfortunately, I don't think the kids or myself are familiar with that tale. In this story there are seven Chinese sisters who each have a special talent. When a hungry dragon takes the Seventh sister, the other sisters must come up with a plan to get her back. This was an okay story for us. The illustrations were colorful and detailed with each sister having a unique hair style and design on her dress.
Family Rating: 1 thumb up.
