Product Description
Based on Ni Hao, Kai-lan, the new animated series from Nickelodeon (and inspired by the best-selling book Caterpillar Spring, Butterfly Summer), The Dragon Dance features a colorful “covered slinky” that serves as the body of a dragon, a traditional symbol in Chinese festivities. The two-color “dragon” stretches and winds through the pages of the book as Kai-lan and her lovable animal friends join the dragon in a colorful parade and dance. In addition to the fun, there are also important little lessons to help preschoolers identify their feelings, learn Chinese words, manage their emotions, and understand the world around them.

 Ok, 10-page book, two characters mentioned June 29, 2010
Jenn
First the positive ... This is a cute book with bright colors. This large board book has pages that are sturdy and easy to turn for little hands. My 2.5 year old son watches the cartoon and loves to point to the characters in the book as they appear on tv.
Its size is about 8" x 9" and contains 10 cardboard pages (5 front and back, including cover). In the middle of the book is a cloth tube that resembles the dragon's body. When the pages are turned the 3-D body appears on each page. There is nothing unusual about the body. I've seen some pop-up books where it looks like the feature moves. This just looks like cloth around wire tubing. Although my son enjoys the book, for a book that cost over $10 and only has 10 pages, I do not think it is worth the price.
In addition, six characters are drawn into the book and only two characters are mentioned - Kai Lan, the little girl, and Tolee, the koala bear. That's fine, but if you don't particularly watch the show and your child asks you the names are of the other characters - tiger (Rintoo), monkey (Hoho), rhino (Lulu) grandfather (Yeahya sp?) - you won't know how to answer. I think books should try to weave the names its major characters into the story, after all, the intro to the cartoon always mentions the characters names too.
Chinese words mentioned in book: Ni-hao = hi, Long = dragon, Peng you = friend, Xie xie = thanks
 Cute Book! April 14, 2010

We purchased this book for our daughter's 3rd birthday. She LOVES it. It has a pop up type dragon body running throughout the book. She loves that you can turn the pages and still see the same dragon. It is a very cute book.
great book! December 23, 2009

One of my baby's favorite books. There is a 3D pop-up of the dragon's body inside the book, which is fun for baby.
Very cute September 19, 2009

Bought this item for my little ones that just love watching Kai-Lan on TV. They loved the book and know the entire story already!
