"This is the third book in the ""How to Catch a"" series by Adam Wallace we have read. We enjoyed this one as much as the others. This outing has the kids trying to find and catch a dragon, in this story it is a dragon that is part of a celebration for ""Chinese New Year"" The boy and his friends desperately wants to catch a dragon to guarantee health and good fortune for the New Year. He tries several different things to trap the dragon with his friends, but this dragon is tricky. I loved the illustrations in this story, they were so colourful and vibrant. I also like that this story deals with an ethnic holiday (Chinese New Year) and that the characters in the story were all nationalities. The text has a nice cadence to it with the rhyming prose. My grandson had not really heard about the celebration of Chinese New Year, so was very interested in what they do to celebrate. He asked a lot of questions so we looked for a simple book about this celebration at the library and read it together. So awesome that he wanted to do that. My granddaughter loved searching for the dragon and thought it was a fun story. Overall, a success for us and one I would recommend for libraries to have in their collections. The publisher generously provided me with a copy of this book upon request. The rating, ideas and opinions share were our own."
