Published in 1989, The Moon Dragon is the seventh book I have read from Miller, and the second, after The Proverbial Mouse, that also features artwork from Deuchar. Apparently the two also collaborated on a third picture-book, The Search for Spring, which I have not yet managed to track down. In any case, I found the story here engaging, appreciating its very clear message about the dangers of boasting, rather than working hard. The artwork is lovely, with a vividly colorful palette and expressive human figures. The Library of Congress information on the colophon here lists this as a Chinese folktale, but there is no other information provided about source material, which I find disappointing. Unless personally familiar with the story, I never know in these cases if the tale in question is actually a folktale, or an original creation of the author. Leaving that critique aside, this is one I would recommend to fairy-tale lovers, and to anyone looking for children's stories about the dangers of boasting. ( )
