China: Land of Dragons and Emperors: The Fascinating Culture and History of China Paperback – June 14, 2011

Didn't realize it was a chapter book, very happy regardless

We are using this book for a study of China. Absolutely recommend this book! So far we have enjoyed learning about the Han and Song Dynasty. We learned about Confucius, The Great Wall of China and the Silk Road. Author is enjoyable and information is presented in a manner that engages our middle and high school students.

The essence of Chinese culture and history captivatingly told for readers of all ages. Adeline Yen Mah tells you these stories in short fascinating segments. I also recommend "Autumn Leaves" by this author. Her books are very difficult to put down until you've come to the last page and there is no more....

Very well researched history book, written in a simple and concise manner. Brings history into life and can be read like a novel.I re-read a few times.

good book

The book was great, happy!!

Enjoyed this concise overview of China. Better than a travel guide, it gives the reader an elementary understanding of the people and events that have shaped China's hixtory. In short sections, one can learn a great deal. and can pick it up and lay it down without having to go back and refresh one's memory. Highly recvommend it.

This is a good bokk to take when traveling. It is small and the chapters are only a few pages long.Lots of pictures.I think it is a neat little book to share with adolescent readers as well.
