{"product_id":"the-paper-dragon-9780689319921","title":"The Paper Dragon","description":"Mi Fei is a humble painter of scrolls. Between each day's sunrise and sunset, he paints scenes of the gods and their festivals' portraits of heroes and their deeds. Although the scrolls bring him fame, Mi Fei is content to live in his village, surrounded by people he loves. \u003cbr\u003eBut one day a messenger enters the village with terrible news: the dragon Sui Jen has awakened from its hundred years' sleep and is destroying everything in its path. Someone must find a way to return Sui Jen to its slumber. To the villagers, only one among them is wise enough to confront the scaly beast -- Mi Fei. \u003cbr\u003eThe power of the artist's vision and the ever-sustaining nature of love are brought together in Marguerite W. Davol's beautiful story, strikingly interpreted by Robert Sabuda in a series of gatefold illustrations that convey the storytelling majesty of the Chinese narrative scrollmaker's art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Atheneum Books for Young Readers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780689319921\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 60\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.36h x 9.45w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Parents Choice Award (Fall) (1998-2007) - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/29\/1997 pg. 89\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Review - Children\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/1997 pg. 1386\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/1997 pg. 402\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/1997 pg. 79\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eALA Notable Children's Books\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1998 pg. 1219\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHornbook Guide to Children\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/1997 pg. 27 - Superior,Well Above Average\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/19\/1998 pg. 32\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader Quiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e31055 \/ Paper Dragon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.8 \/ \u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade \/ \u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Marguerite W.
