Red is a Dragon by Roseanne Thong

Amazon marks the intended age range for this book as 2-4 years old! So pre-k exclusively.

And some read alouds!

Published in 2001, this book explores the world of color through items someone of chinese descent might see, such as chinese dragons during New Year or incense sticks, peonies,jade jewelery, chinese opera singers!

The art is simple yet beautiful!

Grace Lin's illustrations add enough color to the book that one might not even need to read the simple text to understand the meanings!

The ratings!!
