The Dancing Dragon
Mondo, 1996
Gonghe xinxi 恭賀新禧! That is the new year's greeting gracing the inside cover of The Dancing Dragon. Paired couplets describe the preparations and excitement that take place in the Chinese community to celebrate the new year. While the first eight pages show a series of activities taking place one after the other (decorating storefronts, arriving at the parade, watching the lion dance), the second half of the book expands accordion-style to reveal a single dancing dragon that zigs and zags through the entire town. The simple but clever design makes this book memorable and fun.
