Review
"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 comfortsand#8211;a celebration with rock bands, karaoke, soccer for and#8220;tinand#8221; men and pizza for all. With an underlying message of the ills of prejudgment, this title should find a place in all libraries."andlt;BRandgt; andlt;BRandgt; and#8212;andlt;iandgt;School Library Journal, andlt;/iandgt;March 2012
