About the Once Upon A Time In China… series
China has a very long history that includes many fascinating stories, but often they are too complex for young children to read. For this historical fiction collection, Jillian Lin has rewritten the most well-known tales as simple, engaging short stories, for kids from age five to enjoy and at the same time, learn from. While some stories sound almost like fairytales, they are all based on true historical facts. Fully illustrated, each book contains the life story of a famous figure in Chinese history, a list of interesting facts, a quiz, and a map.

Other books in this book collection are:

- The Miracle Doctor (to be released in March 2015)
- The Mountain Man of Words and Music (to be released in April 2015)
- The Dreamer of Stars (to be released in May 2015)

My Review:

This is a great book to learn about China. Evan as an adult I learned something new. I was drawn to the cover and the illustrations were really nice. I also enjoyed that the author made this book child friendly. The quiz is also great because it helps to remember what I read. I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review via Tomoson. however all opinions are my own.
